Systematic attack on farmers, will visit victim families in Lakhimpur Kheri: Rahul Gandhi
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, on Wednesday, October 6, said that he would visit the families of those farmers, who were killed in violence that broke out in Uttar Pradeshs Lakhimpur Kheri a few days ago.
Gandhi said the same while addressing a press conference at the AICC headquarters in Delhi. He said that it was a systematic attack on farmers. Today, I will visit those families along with two chief ministers, he said.
A few days ago, a son of a Union Minister allegedly ran his jeep over farmers, who were protesting Centre’s three farm laws in UPs Lakhimpur Kheri.
In this terrifying incident, few farmers lost their lives, thus triggering nationwide protests and agitation by Opposition and farmer unions.
He (Prime Minister Narendra Modi) visited Lucknow yesterday but did not visit them (victim families). Farmers are being mowed down by a jeep, they are being murdered. The name of a union minister and his son is coming up in this incident. We won’t stop until justice is served, said Gandhi.
He further stated that his sister- Priyanka Gandhi was detained by UP Police when she tried to reach Lakhimpur.
As it is a matter related to farmers, I will visit them (farmers) today and try to understand their point of view, he added.
Section 144 was imposed by the UP Police in Lakhimpur Kheri and Gandhi was denied permission to visit.
If he arrives at Lucknow, we will request him not to visit Sitapur and Lakhimpur, said DK Thakur-Lucknow CP.
