Congress to take note ban protest to Telangana districts
Hyderabad: The TS Congress on Saturday decided to take up a series of agitation across the state against the “ill effects” of demonetisation.
Briefing mediapersons after a meeting at Gandhi Bhavan, TPCC president N. Uttam Kumar Reddy said that on January 2, key leaders will hold meetings at all the district headquarters to explain why note ban was bad. On January 5 and 6, the party will hold demonstrations at all district collectorates seeking justice for the people who are suffering on account of note ban.
A party contingent from the state would reach Delhi on January 11 to participate in a rally to be attended by AICC vice-president Rahul Gandhi.
He said Mr Gandhi may visit Telangana during his all India tour against note ban, probably in the second week of January.
Mr Reddy demanded protection for small and marginal traders from taxes. He demanded a minimum of 200 work days need to be provided to labour in agricultural activities.
