"The message that is coming out of it is that if someone is in power, is a minister or a BJP leader, he can do anything," Priyanka Gandhi Vadra said
Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, who arrived here today to meet the families of two farmers killed in the Lakhimpur Kheri violence, said that by allowing Union minister Ajay Kumar Mishra to continue on the post, the Centre is sending a message that those in power can do anything.
The Union minister's son, Ashish Kumar Mishra, and others have been booked in connection with the Lakhimpur Kheri violence that erupted during a farmers' protest on Sunday.
"If the minister of state for home does not resign nor is he sacked, then it means that the government of Prime Minister Narendra Modi is giving a message to the public that if someone is in power, if he is a minister, he can do anything," Ms Gandhi Vadra told reporters in Moharnia, where she met the family members of Gurvinder Singh, one of the four farmers killed in the Lakhimpur Kheri violence.
"The message that is coming out of it is that if someone is in power, is a minister or a BJP leader, he can do anything. There is no justice for the common people, the poor, farmers, Dalits and women. I want to tell Narendra Modiji that this is the message that he is giving to people," she said.
