Malviya had tweeted alleging that the protesters were paid to demonstrate against the Citizenship Amendment Act. The legal notice sent from the office of the advocate, demanded an apology and Rs 1 crore in damages.<\/p>\n<p>On January 15, Malviya had shared a video on Twitter, claiming that the women were paid Rs 500 per day. Since December 15, 2019, hundreds of protesters, mostly women, are in a sit in protest at Shaheen Bagh against the CAA. Many elderly women are also part of the protest and have said that they are looking to discuss the matter with Prime Minister Narendra Modi if he agreed to listen to them.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBy making and propagating false allegations against the protesters and casting aspersions on their motivations, you, the addressee, and other entities have not only played fraud on the general public but have also attempted to bring disrepute to the protesters who are bringing the attention of a large number of people on the issues being pressed by this extraordinary exercise of Constitutional freedom,\u201d the notice said.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier, <a href=\"https:\/\/thebengalstory.com\/english\/delhi-hc-rejects-petition-to-remove-protesters-barricades-at-shaheen-bagh\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"color: #800000;\">the Delhi High Court had dismissed a petition<\/span><\/a> that appealed to the court to remove police barricades in the Shaheen Bagh area and to shift the protesters elsewhere.
