New Delhi [India], Jan. 18 : The Congress Party on Wednesday launched a nationwide protest against the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) as part of the 'Jan Vedna' campaign against Prime Minister Narendra Modi's demonetisation drive on November 8.
Congress leader Anand Sharma led the protest in Delhhi while former Assam chief minister Tarun Gogoi participated in the protest against demonetisation outside the RBI office in Guwahati.
