When asked about key issues that the Congress Party will raise during the Winter Session, Azad said, "There are so many issues such as Jammu and Kashmir, border, ceasefire violation and closure of schools and colleges in the Kashmir Valley for several months among others; but demonetisation is also a very big issue. It is causing inconveniences to people; crores of people are on the road, and scuffles are taking place as there is no money."

Responding to West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee's appeal to all political parties to join hands against the demonetisation drive, he said all parties are already together on the issue and whatever decision they take jointly will be pursued.
