India Parliament to discuss rupee notes
India's Parliament will reopen to begin its winter session on Wednesday (Nov 16), with Prime Minister Narendra Modi's surprise move to withdraw two large denomination notes expected to dominate discussions.
Opposition political parties are set to team up to pressure the government over the controversial decision to withdraw the 500 rupee ($7.50) and 1,000 rupee notes from circulation last week as part of the Modi administration's bid to tackle corruption and tax evasion.
The government has come under pressure over the decision, which has seen long lines form at Indian banks as people rush to exchange the banknotes.
