Lakhimpur Kheri: Punjab Congress chief Navjot Singh Sidhu on Friday met the family of a victim, Lovepreet Singh, here and began his hunger strike demanding arrest of BJP union minister’s son for killing farmers and a journalist in UP violence case.
Sidhu has vowed to fast-unto-death and took a pledge of silence until Union Minister Ajay Kumar Mishra’s son Ashish Mishra is arrested.
Sidhu made this announcement at journalist, Raman Kashyap’s house, who was among eight people killed in the violence.
Sharing the photos of his meeting with one of the families on Twitter, Sidhu said, “Justice Delayed-Justice Denied.”
Shiromani Akali Dal Member of Parliament Harsimrat Kaur also visited victims of Sunday’s violence at Uttar Pradesh’s Lakhimpur Kheri on Friday. She separately met the 28-year-old Kashyap’s family.
Meanwhile, Ashish Mishra has been booked for the violence but he has not been arrested by the UP police so far.
His father Ajay Mishra ‘Teni’, Minister of State for Home Affairs, maintains that his son is innocent and claims it’s a conspiracy.
