 "Demonetisation war: Opposition unites to corner Modi govt in Parliament today")
The opposition is all set to corner the government in parliament on Monday over demonetisation of old higher currency notes.
Opposition leaders met today and raised demand of a joint parliamentary committee probe into the allegations that the move - billed as one to curb tax evasion and corruption - had been selectively leaked to the BJP and its "friends".
Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi was seen speaking to people standing in the queues outside ATMs and banks, which began forming in the wee hours of morning in Delhi.
Meanwhile, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has issued a whip to its Rajya Sabha members, asking them to be present in the House for the next three days starting today.
Both the Houses of Parliament have been witnessing a stormy debate over demonetisation during the first three days of the winter session.
In the Lok Sabha, the Congress and some other opposition parties insisted on a discussion on demonetisation under Rule 56, which entails voting and through an adjournment motion that implies suspension of all other business.
In both Houses, the opposition parties insisted on Prime Minister Narendra Modi's presence while opposing demonetisation.
In the Rajya Sabha, treasury benches also resorted to slogans after Union Minister Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi referred to the Leader of the Opposition Ghulam Nabi Azad's statement that more people had died because of demonetisation than had been killed in the Uri terror attack on September 18 this year.
The CPI (M), in a statement, said, "Instead of immediate measures to bring relief to the people, the government has now reduced the limit of exchanging notes per person from Rs. 4,500 to Rs. 2,000. This will hit hard the poorer sections.
