Lakhimpur violence: SAD delegation demands MoS Home be sacked

Lakhimpur violence: SAD delegation demands MoS Home be sacked

SAD leader Harsimrat Kaur was talking to reporters outside Chaudhury Charan Singh Airport in Lucknow

The Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) on Friday demanded Union Minister of State for Home Ajay Mishra be sacked and the accused immediately arrested for ensuring justice to farmers’ families in the Lakhimpur violence case.

“We demanded immediate dismissal of the minister and arrest of the accused for giving justice to the families of farmers who died in Lakhimpur,” SAD leader Harsimrat Kaur told reporters outside Chaudhury Charan Singh Airport here.

A delegation of the party landed here to visit Lakhimpur Kheri to meet families of farmers, who had died in the violence on October 3. “We are going to share their grief and will help them in whatever way we can,” she said.

On BJP’s allegation that the opposition was going to Lakhimpur for “photo opportunity”, the former Union minister said, “I resigned from the Central cabinet for raising the voice of farmers. They can also call this a photo opportunity.”  

Kaur said measures should be taken to check such violence while demanding the arrest of the accused.
