Several opposition parties on Tuesday announced that they would observe November 8, the first anniversary of demonetisation, as 'Black Day' and would hold protests across the country to highlight its "ill-effects" on the economy. O'Brien said his party would observe the day as "Kalo Dibas" which is 'Black Day' in Bengali. Asked why the opposition was not planning a joint and united protest on the day, Azad said the opposition had been "forced" to call November 8 as 'Black Day' and that the parties were united on the issue. That is the reason the coordination committee has decided to have protests at every state according to the capacity of various opposition parties. All political parties were branded as if we all are corrupt and we are all black money hoarders.
