New Delhi, Nov.20: Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, the Congress general secretary, has written to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, requesting him not to share the platform with Union minister Ajay Mishra, whose son was arrested in connection with the Lakhimpur Kheri riots. The abolition of farm rules and Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to Lucknow for the DGP conference are the subjects of Priyanka’s letter to the Prime Minister.
“PM Modi should not attend the DGP and IG conference in Lucknow. I have written to him that person who mowed down farmers (in Lakhimpur) is son of MoS Home, and due to political pressure UP govt had tried suppressing justice…Family wants justice, and if he (MoS) continues, justice can’t be served,” said Priyanka Gandhi today.
“If he is genuinely concerned about farmers, he should not share the dais with MoS Home Ajay Mishra whose son is an accused in Lakhimpur Kheri case,” she added.
“I have also urged PM Modi to withdraw cases against farmers across the country and give compensation to the kin of deceased farmers,” the Congress leader further added.
PM Narendra Modi has arrived in Lucknow, where he will attend a DGPs meeting on Saturday before returning to Delhi on Sunday.
According to a statement released by the Raj Bhavan, Modi walked to the Raj Bhavan after arriving at the Chaudhary Charan Singh airport and offered floral tributes to Mahatma Gandhi’s image.
According to the announcement, Governor Anandiben Patel greeted Prime Minister Narendra Modi upon his arrival at the Raj Bhavan. Yogi Adityanath, the Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh, was also present at the Raj Bhavan, according to the report.
