Several members of the farmers’ wing of the Socialist Party (India) were detained by the police after they gathered to burn effigies of PM Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah as they protested over the Lakhimpur Kheri violence.
The Socialist Party (India) on Friday claimed some members of its farmers' wing were detained by police after they gathered here to burn effigies of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union Home Minister Amit Shah and MoS Home Ajay Mishra in the wake of the Lakhimpur Kheri violence.
The members of the Socialist Kisan Sabha also carried placards demanding the resignation of Mishra, whose son Ashish is alleged to have been in one of the cars that ploughed into farmers in Uttar Pradesh's Lakhimpur Kheri on October 3, leaving four of them dead.
