The violent incident at Lakhimpur between the protesting farmers and Union MoS for Home Affairs, Ajay Kumar Mishra’s son’s convoy had left around 9 dead on Sunday. In the purview of this incident, the Samyukta Kisan Morcha has now written a letter to the President, Ramnath Kovind – asking him to fulfill the demands mentioned in the letter.
The Samyukta Kisan Morcha in its letter wrote, “The whole country is outraged by the incident of the brutal killing of farmers in broad daylight by mowing them down with vehicles in Lakhimpur Kheri (Uttar Pradesh) yesterday on 3rd October 2021. Union Minister of State for Home Affairs Ajay Kumar Mishra “Teni”‘s son and his goon accomplices carried out this murderous attack in a brazen manner which shows a deep conspiracy of Uttar Pradesh and Central Governments. Ajay Mishra had already built a context to this attack by giving inflammatory and derogatory speeches against the farmers.”
“It is no coincidence that on the same day, Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar is publicly inciting his party workers to take up lathis and indulge in violence against farmers,” the letter read.
They also mentioned that “It is clear from these incidents that these persons sitting on constitutional posts are using their positions for planned violence against Annadatas doing peaceful agitation. This is a crime as per the laws of the country, against the Constitution and the country,” in the letter.
The demands made by the Samyukta Kisan Morcha in their letter are as under:
1. Union Home Minister Ajay Mishra Teni should be immediately dismissed from his post and a case should be filed against him for inciting violence and spreading communal hatred.
2. The Union Minister’s son Ashish Mishra “Monu” and his fellow goons should be immediately booked for 302 (murder) and arrested immediately.
3. The investigation of this incident should be done by an SIT under the supervision of the Supreme Court.
4. Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar, who is inciting violence while holding a constitutional post, should be sacked from his post.
