Senior Congress leaders along with scores of party workers today hit the street in the capital as part of a nation-wide protest against demonetisation.

The protesters led by Congress MP Ahmed Patel, party’s deputy leader in Rajya Sabha Anand Sharma, DPCC chief Ajay Maken and P C Chacko tried to march from Jantar Mantar to RBI’s regional headquarters in Parliament Street but were stopped by police.

They alleged that the central bank has “failed miserably” in handling the situation post demonetisation and demanded the limit on bank and ATM withdrawal be lifted.
