TIL Desk/National/New Delhi/ Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal has lashed out at the Centre over the death of farmers during violence in Lakhimpur Kheri, and asked Prime Minister Narendra Modi to ensure justice for the families of the victims.
The Aam Aadmi Party leader also demanded that the accused in the case 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.
Addressing a virtual press conference, he alleged that the ‘entire system’ is trying to protect the killers of the farmers and asked the prime minister as to why nobody has so far been arrested in connection with the case.
“For last one year, farmers have been sitting on a dharna. More than 600 farmers have died so far. And then farmers are crushed and killed by mowing them down under wheels. Why is there so much hatred against the farmers?” he asked the prime minister.
Kejriwal also asked the prime minister why Mishra has not yet been dismissed as Union minister of state for home affairs. “Every citizen of this country is today demanding justice for the farmers. The decision is in your hands,” he said appealing to the prime minister to intervene in the matter and also visit family members of the accused.
