Condemning death of farmers in Lakhimpur Kheri, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Wednesday urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to ensure justice for the families of the victims.
The AAP supremo demanded that the accused be arrested and that Union Minister of State for Home, Ajay Kumar Mishra, whose son has been named as accused in the incident, be sacked. “The entire system is trying to protect the killers of farmers,” Kejriwal said.
Meanwhile, AAP leaders Sanjay Singh and Raghav Chadha met the family of deceased farmer Lovepreet in Lakhimpur Kheri on Wednesday. They will meet another deceased farmer Raman Kashyap’s family.
“Do you know where we see criminals mercilessly running their cars over innocent people only to have the entire system bow down before them and shield them from the law? We only see it happen in Bollywood movies and the people of this country do not deserve to see it become a reality,” the AAP leader said, adding, “Mr Prime Minister, each and every person of this country is seeing it pan out into reality on TVs and social media today. A car came, murdered people and no action was taken.”
