MoS Mishra meets Shah, briefs him on Lakhimpur incident

Thursday, 07 October 2021 | PNS | New Delhi

Minister of State for Home Ajay Kumar Mishra, whose son is facing the charge of mowing down four farmers at Lakhimpur Kheri, called on his boss Amit Shah on Wednesday. During the 30-minute interaction, Mishra is understood to have briefed Shah about the Lakhimpur Kheri incident.

Sources said there was no question of Mishra’s resignation despite growing demand from the Opposition for his dismissal.  Mishra has denied allegations of his son’s involvement in the incident.

The police have registered a murder case against Ashish Mishra, the son of Ajay Kumar Mishra, and several others over the death of the farmers.

Meanwhile, a media invite for an event scheduled for Thursday in which Mishra was the chief guest and was supposed to deliver a speech has been “cancelled”.

A media officer for the Bureau of Police Research and Development (BPRD) said the programme was being put on “hold and the invitation may be treated as cancelled”.

The event is related to the two-day 7th national conference of heads of prisons of all States and Union Territories. Nityanand Rai, who is also Minister of State for Home, is the chief guest for the valedictory session of this conference on Friday.
