Mahila Manch demands AAP’s Rs.1000 honorarium for women
Women in Delhi staged a protest against AAP Minister Atishi demanding immediate payment of Rs.1,000 promised to the women in Delhi by the AAP government. The protesters raised slogans outside Atishi’s residence on Mathura Road.
Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, who was out on bail from the Tihar jail while campaigning for the Lok Sabha polls, repeatedly assured that he would provide Rs.1000 per month to the women of Delhi.
On Tuesday, Mahila Manch members staged a protest outside Delhi Finance Minister Atishi Marlena’s residence. The women demanded the AAP government fulfill its budget announcement to provide a Rs.1000 honorarium to the women of the city.
“The AAP government announced Rs.1000 per month honorarium for women in its budget. It was not some poll promise. So, the government should now provide the money to the women,” said one of the protesters Safia Faheem.
