The Prime Minister has a moral responsibility towards the country, Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra said today, hitting out at Prime Minister Narendra Modi for not seeking the resignation of Union Minister Ajay Mishra, whose son is an accused in the Lakhimpur Kheri violence case.
Ashish Mishra was given bail by the Allahabad High Court today in connection with the October 3, 2021 violence in Uttar Pradesh's Lakhimpur Kheri district, in which eight people, including four farmers, were killed.
"The son of their minister mowed down six farmers but did he resign? Everyone says our Prime Minister is a good man, then why did he not ask his minister to resign? Does he not have any moral responsibility towards the country?" Priyanka Gandhi said at an election rally in Rampur.
"Today, that man has got bail and soon, he would be roaming around openly, the man who mowed you down. But whom did the government save? Did it save the farmers? Where were the police and the administration when farmers were killed?" Priyanka Gandhi said.
