Part of the ashes of farmers, who were killed after an SUV in the convoy of Union Minister of State for Home Affairs Ajay Kumar Mishra’s son Ashish ran over them last month in Uttar Pradesh’s Lakhimpur Kheri, will be immersed in the Krishna near Doranahalli in Yadgir district on Sunday, said Congress leader B.R. Patil.
Addressing a press conference here on Saturday, he said that he had received some part of the ashes of Lovepreet Singh, Gurvinder Singh, Daljeet Singh, and Nachattar Singh sent by the Samyukta Kisan Morcha – the conglomerate of farmers’ organisations leading the agitation in Delhi.
“It was a cold-blooded murder by the Government to suppress the farmers’ movement against the anti-farmer laws which were enacted to help corporate companies scarifying the farmers’ interests. The whole world has seen the brutality. The country would never forget the fight and the sacrifice of the four farmers who had laid down their lives for the cause. The agitation against the anti-farmer laws would continue,” Mr. Patil said.
