The Communist Party of India (CPI) has called for a week-long protest against demonetisation across Maharashtra starting today.
"Our Central leadership decided to call for a week-long protest and accordingly we have informed our district- and tehsil-level cadres to take out marches to district collector's office and local administrative offices," Dr Bhalchandra Kango, state secretary of CPI, said.
CPI demanded cancellation of the new Rs 2,000 note, an extension of time for use of the old Rs 500 note and revocation of ban on cooperative banks and credit societies from accepting old currency notes to help the rural economy, he said.
"Like farmers, traders should also be allowed to use old currency notes for the next two months," he said.
The Centre should initiate a probe against those whose names appeared in the Panama papers, he said.
"The Government should also recover huge loan dues from industrialists. Also, definite action should be taken against those found to be having benami properties," Kango said.
