Demonetisation: DMK human chain on Nov 24
The DMK has planned to hold a state-wide human chain agitation on November 24 demanding the state and central governments to put an end to the sufferings of the people, who were hit hard by the demonetisation of the Rs 500 and Rs 1000 notes, a party released said.

“Because of the haste in implementing the demonetisation of Rs 500 and Rs 1000 notes, and the sudden decision made (by Prime Minister Narendra Modi) on November 8, there is no end to the difficulties being faced by the people,” DMK Chief M Karunanidhi said.
Appealing to the party workers, traders, and farmers to participate in large numbers, he said that the agitations would be headed by the party secretaries in all district headquarters.
“Prime Minister Modi has not replied to all the parties debating the issue in Parliament to solve people’s problems. While other state Chief Ministers are strongly condemning the move, the state government has not taken any action,” he said in a statement.
The poor and common people were standing in queues for long hours to exchange the now defunct notes while traders were facing loss of business, he said. T
Therefore, to “condemn Central and state governments,” and press the Centre to make suitable announcement to mitigate people’s problems, DMK will hold state-wide human chain protest on November 24 between 4-5 pm, he said.
