Amidst utter confusion, whether there is call for a 'Bharat Bandh' or 'Jan Aakrosh Divas', Opposition parties on Monday hit the streets across the country to protest against scrapping of high-value notes. It was, however, not supported by the ruling Trinamool Congress which is most vocal against the note ban. The state-wide 12-hour strike called by the Left parties to protest demonetization failed to evoke much response in West Bengal. In Bihar workers of RJD, Congress and Left parties disrupted train services at many places, but offices and schools registered normal attendance. In Delhi, Congress leader Ghulam Nabi Azad clarified that the Opposition parties had never called for any strike, as it would have caused inconvenience to people.
