India rupee ban: Sporadic ‘day of rage’ protests against cash ban

Indians demonstrate in a number of cities against the recent withdrawal of high-value bank notes.

Earlier this month, the 500 and 1,000 rupee notes were banned overnight, causing chaos as people lined up at banks to exchange their old currency.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi has defended the decision saying it was an anti-corruption measure.

But opposition parties say the move was mishandled.

Last week, they stalled parliament and demanded Mr Modi should apologise for the decision.

hmmmm
