Chandigarh, October 9
Demanding immediate dismissal of Union Minister of State for Home Ajay Mishra, father of main accused Ashish Mishra in the Lakhimpur Kheri incident, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) said no justice can be expected if the minister continues on his post.
In a statement issued here on Saturday, Leader of Opposition Harpal Singh Cheema asked why Prime Minister Narendra Modi was silent about the Lakhimpur Kheri incident. “If the Prime Minister had not hated farmers so much, no hooligan would have dared to run away after mowing down farmers under VIP vehicles,” said Cheema. Former Union minister Harsimrat Kaur Badal demanded a Supreme Court-monitored probe into the Lakhimpur Kheri farmer killings even as she called for immediate dismissal of Union Minister for State for Home Affairs Ajay Mishra. The former Union Minister said the victim families of farmers, who had been crushed to death, did not have any hope for justice from the Uttar Pradesh Government. — TNS
