Rahul Gandhi Demands Removal Of MoS Ajay Mishra Over Lakhimpur Kheri Incident
Mumbai: Congress MP Rahul Gandhi has moved an adjournment motion in Lok Sabha over the Lakhimpur Kheri incident, demanding the removal of MoS Home Affairs Ajay Kumar Mishra.
MOS Home Ajay Kumar Mishra’s son Ashish Mishra is involved in the Lakhimpur Kheri incident which took the lives of eight people including four farmers, earlier in October.
In his letter to Secretary-General of Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi said, “I hereby give notice of my intention to ask for leave to move a motion for the adjournment of the business of the house for the purpose of discussing a definite matter of urgent importance namely: the UP Police SIT report has highlighted that massacre of farmers at Lakhimpur was a pre-planned conspiracy and not a negligent act.”
“The SIT has recommended for the modification of the charges against all the accused. The Government should immediately sack the MoS Home Affairs, Ajay Kumar Mishra and ensure justice is delivered to the families of the victims,” the Wayanad MP stated in his letter.
On 3 October, farmers protesting against agricultural laws were allegedly rammed by a vehicle. Reportedly, the vehicle belonged to Ashish, who is the son of Union MoS Ajay Mishra. The Uttar Pradesh Police has so far arrested three people including Ashish Mishra.
