Lakhimpur violence spotted three political hotspots in Uttar Pradesh. In Bahraich the dead body of farmer Gurwinder was again sent for the post-mortem in the presence of Rakesh Tikait. At the same time, Priyanka Gandhi, who was arrested in Sitapur, denied filling the bail bond. She is still in a temporary jail. Here Rahul Gandhi will also visit Uttar Pradesh today.
She is scheduled to go from Lucknow to Lakhimpur Kheri via Sitapur. Rahul will be accompanied by Punjab CM Charanjit Singh Channi, Chhattisgarh CM Bhupesh Baghel, Congress leaders KC Venugopal and Sachin Pilot. However, the Yogi government has not yet given permission to visit these leaders including Rahul.
Rahul will reach Lucknow airport at 12.30 pm with a delegation of 5 members. The administration has permitted his helicopter to land, but he has not been permitted to go to Sitapur and has imposed Section 144 in Lucknow. On the other hand, 10 thousand farmers are expected to gather in Lakhimpur Kheri on the information of the arrival of Rahul Gandhi, Priyanka Gandhi. In such a situation, police have been deployed in all areas. At the same time, the internet has been stopped in Lakhimpur Kheri, Sitapur, and Bahraich.
Priyanka Gandhi has raised questions about her arrest addressing Congress workers protesting outside Sitapur Guest House on Tuesday night. She said- When a farmer loses his life in a struggle or movement, then we do not call him a deceased, he is called a martyr. She also said that BJP is afraid of the voice of the people. Hence, the home minister threatens the public, and his son crushes the farmers under the wheels.
Ajay Mishra Teni, the father of accused Ashish Mishra and Union Minister of State in the Lakhimpur Kheri violence case, has said that his son was not in the car. The driver was injured in the attack on the car and the car went uncontrollably and climbed on the people present there. My condolences to those who lost their lives. There should be a fair investigation in this matter.
Teni has also clarified the viral audio in which he is purportedly abusing the farmers. Teni has said that the full audio is not being played, I have never spoken abusive words against the farmers.
A 6-member committee will investigate the violence in Lakhimpur Kheri on Sunday. Inspector General of Lucknow said that Ashish Mishra, son of the state Union Minister has been named as the accused in this case. As per the sources, the matter is also to be investigated by the judicial committee. The committee's announcement for this will be made on Wednesday.
The family of Bahraich farmer Gurvinder Singh, who was killed in the Lakhimpur violence, had refused to perform the last rituals on Tuesday, questioning the post-mortem report. DM and SP also talked to the family, but they did not listen. After this incident, a team of five doctors of PGI was sent by helicopter from Lucknow to get the post-mortem done again.
For the satisfaction of the farmers, 2 doctors stood by their side to look after them. After this, the post-mortem was done again at 4.30 pm, its report will come today. The last rites of 3 other farmers killed in Lakhimpur violence have already been performed.
