“If the son of a minister crushes satyagrahi farmers under his car, then the Constitution of the country is in danger. If he is not taken into custody even after the video surfaced, then the Constitution of the country is in danger,” Rahul Gandhi posted on Facebook.
For the second consecutive day, Chhattisgarh CM Bhupesh Baghel reached Lucknow in his capacity as the AICC observer of the state with the resolve to visit Lakhimpur and meet Vadra. He sat on a dharna at the airport, after he was not allowed to proceed to the site of incident or meet Vadra. “The unfortunate situation in the country is evident in the fact the PM is celebrating the 75th anniversary of the Independence on the one hand and the ruling dispensation’s people are cracking down on farmers, on the other,” he said at an AICC-streamed online media conference from the airport.
Navjot Singh Sidhu, who submitted his resignation as Punjab PCC chief, also jumped in to advertise his readiness to fight. Shiv Sena’s Sanjay Raut, who was in Delhi, condemned the arrest of Priyanka Vadra, met Rahu Gandhi and proposed a ‘joint opposition action’ over the Lakhimpur incident. CPM and CPI too deplored the PM for not sacking Mishra and not arresting his son.
