Union minister and Bharatiya Janata Party leader Babul Supriyo on Tuesday sent a legal notice to Trinamool Congress leaders, including MPs Saugata Roy and Tapas Pal, accusing them of dragging his name into the Rose Valley Chit Fund scam.

"Yes, a notice has been sent to them today. If they fail to give a satisfactory reply in 7 days, I will approach the court.

"They said that the prime minister and I have siphoned off money, that I am on the payroll of Rose Valley. If you have any evidence, produce it in court," he said adding he has given them seven days time to reply.

Meanwhile, TMC MPs will meet President Pranab Mukherjee tomorrow at the end of their three-day dharna to draw his attention towards hardship being faced by the common man due to demonitisation.

TMC MPs have been staging protest against the Modi governments demonitisation drive and the arrest of their party MPs in the alleged Rose Valley chit fund scam here since January 9.

"There is political vendetta against us because we are opposing Modi governments demonitisation drive. We will meet the President tomorrow at 2 pm after the end of the three-day dharna in the capital," according to a senior TMC leader.

Raising slogans like 'Modi hatao desh bachao', about 30 TMC MPs from the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha staged a sit-in near the party office at South Avenue for the second day.
