New Delhi: In response to notices from IT department,  Congress party is all set to stage a nationwide protest today. The party has been asked to pay over Rs 1,800 crore.

Congress General Secretary KC Venugopal has directed all state branches to organize protests at the headquarters of PCC (Pradesh Congress Committee) and district Congress Committees on Saturday.

"Eight years of Income Tax returns of the INC have been reopened on baseless, manufactured grounds to levy patently illegal Income Tax demand orders totalling thousands of crores of rupees. This is nothing but a blatant and naked attack on the very principals of democracy," Venugopal said in a letter addressed to party workers on Friday.
