Leader of Opposition in Rajya Sabha Ghulam Nabi Azad said that Opposition parties have decided to "observe November 8 as Black Day". "This particular announcement made on November 8 is the scam of the century, which is why we are observing this as Black Day," Ghulam Nabi Azad said while addressing a joint press conference of the Opposition coordination committee. He announced that 18 Opposition parties have decided to hold protests in every state against demonetisation. Derek O'Brien said the Trinamool Congress (TMC) will observe November 8 as "Kalo Dibas", which is 'Black Day' in Bengali. The coordination committee of Opposition parties met in the Parliament House on Monday and authorised Ghulam Nabi Azad to talk to other parties and finalise the protest plan on November 8.
