The Congress's Delhi unit will form a human chain on November 8, the first anniversary of demonetisation, which the party will observe as "Black Day".
Delhi Pradesh Congress Committee president Ajay Maken said, "Demonetisation not only broke the back of the poor and the middle class, but also rendered lakhs of people jobless and drove them out of Delhi."
Thousands of Congress workers from all corners of the capital will form the human chain at Connaught Place, he said.
Maken has been holding meetings with party office-bearers and workers in preparation for the protest.
On November 8, 2016, the Modi government phased out currency notes of denominations of Rs 500 and Rs 1,000, claiming that the move would check black money and terror funding.
