Budget 2017: TMC to boycott first two days of Parliament Session to protest demonetisation

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee's Trinamool Congress (TMC) will not attend the first two days of Parliament's Budget Session to, what it called, protest the manner in which demonetisation was implemented.

While the Budget Session of Parliament is



commencing on Tuesday, Budget will be presented on the next day. Hence, TMC will skip the first two crucial days of the upcoming session.

A statement issued by Trinamool Congress Parliamentary Party on Monday said, "Trinamool MPs will not be present in Parliament on the first two days of the Budget Session in protest against demonetisation which was implemented without taking Parliament into confidence, and restrictions on withdrawal limits from bank accounts which are still in force."
