'Lakhimpur Files' Should Be Made Just Like 'The Kashmir Files': Akhilesh Yadav

On October 3 last year, violence erupted in Lakhimpur Kheri after a jeep belonging to the son of a Union minister and BJP leader Ajay Mishra Teni ran over farmers who were protesting against the Centre's three farm laws.

Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav on Wednesday took a jibe at leaders of the BJP for backing the film 'The Kashmir Files' and said that that if the movie 'The Kashmir Files' can be made on Kashmir, then 'Lakhimpur Files' can also be made.

"Will Lakhimpur Files also be made? If a movie is made on Kashmir Files then a movie on the Lakhimpur incident should also be made. The farmers were crushed by vehicles in Lakhimpur-Kheri, then why can't a film be made on it?" said Akhilesh Yadav.
