Lakhimpur Violence: Rahul Gandhi Moves Adjournment Motion In LS Demanding Ajay Misra Teni's Resignation

Congress Chief Whip in Lok Sabha K Suresh demanded MoS Home Ajai Misra "to step down immediately so that a fair investigation is carried out and culprits are brought to book."

New Delhi: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has moved an adjournment motion in the Lok Sabha on Wednesday demanding the sacking of MoS Home Ajay Misra Teni.

Citing the UP SIT report that the Lakhimpur Kheri incident was a pre-planned murder and not a negligent act, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has moved an adjournment motion in the Lok Sabha.

Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury, leader of Congress in Lok Sabha, also informed about the same.

Congress Chief Whip in Lok Sabha K Suresh also demanded MoS Home Ajay Misra "to step down immediately so that a fair investigation is carried out (in Lakhimpur Kheri incident) culprits are brought to book and farmers are delivered justice."

"Revelation of SIT that a planned conspiracy to murder farmers protesting in Tikunia (Lakhimpur Kheri) on Oct 3 & SIT seeking permission to book Ashish Misra, is an expose of those behind the intentional attempt to murder protesting farmers," said K Suresh in Lok Sabha.

Stating that the party will continue with the demand Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury said, “If PM Modi has even an iota of devotion for Ganga Mata, he must advise his minister (Ajay Misra Teni) to resign or he himself should decide and sack him. I think it'll further enhance his image because he's working on image makeover right now.”
