The Congress on Monday said it will observe November 8 as “Black Day” with country-wide protests against demonetisation and won’t rest till “inherent flaws” in the design, architecture and rates of the Goods and Services Tax (GST) were resolved.
The party made the announcement after a meeting of its General Secretaries which was presided over by Vice President Rahul Gandhi.
