Priyanka Gandhi releases video, questions PM Modi over Lakhimpur Kheri incident

NEW DELHI: Congress Leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra today released a video questioning PM Narendra Modi after the violence in Uttar Pradesh’s Lakhimpur Kheri.

In the video Priyanka said, “"I hear you are coming to Lucknow for Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav. Have you seen this video? (She held a mobile phone showing a jeep running over a group of farmers, which Gandhi claimed is from Lakhimpur Kheri) Why hasn't this man been arrested? Leaders like us who want to visit Lakhimpur Kheri have been put under custody without any FIR, I want to know why this man is free?"

Targeting the Central Government over inaction in the Lakhimpur Kheri incident, Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra asked Prime Minister Narendra Modi to visit the site, where 8 people, including 4 farmers, died on Sunday.

"@narendramodi Sir, your government has kept me in custody for the last 28 hours without any order and FIR. This person who crushed the annadata (farmers) has not been arrested yet. Why?" alleged Priyanka Gandhi in a tweet today.

"Why the opposition leaders like me are in the custody without any order or FIR. I want to know why the accused is free," the Congress leader is seen saying in the video.
