Sack Ajay Mishra, Congress reiterates

Set up SIT, punish the guilty within 30 days, says Randeep Surjewala

The Congress on Friday demanded that a commission of two sitting judges should be set up to ensure that farmers killed in the Lakhimpur Kheri violence get justice within 30 days. The party reiterated its demand for the dismissal of the Minister of State for Home Ajay Mishra, and the arrest of his son Ashish Mishra, who has been named as one of the main accused in the Lakhimpur Kheri violence.

Citing the Supreme Court’s observations of Friday, in which the apex court expressed “dissatisfaction” over the progress of the investigation in the Lakhimpur incident, Congress’ chief spokesperson Randeep Surjewala said, “It has become clear that the Narendra Modi and Yogi Adityanath governments are standing with criminals.”
