Highlights
Accusing the BJP of spreading misinformation, the Congress on Sunday said it has not called for a \'Bharat bandh\' or a countrywide shutdown on Monday but \'Jan Aakrosh Diwas\' to hold protests over demonetisation.
New Delhi: Accusing the BJP of spreading misinformation, the Congress on Sunday said it has not called for a 'Bharat bandh' or a countrywide shutdown on Monday but 'Jan Aakrosh Diwas' to hold protests over demonetisation. "There will be protest rallies; we have not called for a 'Bharat bandh' (shutdown).
Misinformation has been spread by the BJP which is ill-informed," said senior Congress leader Jairam Ramesh. "The BJP has spread the misinformation that the Congress and other Opposition parties have called for a 'bandh'. The country is already shut from November 9, a day after Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced the demonetisation move. That's why we don't want a 'Bharat bandh'," he added.
