The winter session of Parliament has seen a united opposition confront the Modi government over demonetisation. Stay with us for live updates and latest news.
The high security zone in front of UP assembly turned into a vegetable market on Wednesday morning when several farmers under the banner of BKU protesting against cash crunch descended with tractors full of potatoes for distributing them free of cost.
With 15 days to go for the winter session to close and with the logjam over demonetisation persisting, the opposition parties seem to have decided that they can agree to a discussion other than an adjournment motion as long as there is a division.
