Chandigarh, Oct 9 (UNI) Former Union minister Harsimrat Kaur Badal on Saturday demanded a Supreme Court monitored probe into the Lakhimpur Kheri farmer killings even as she called for the immediate dismissal of union minister for state of Home Affairs Ajay Misra.
Ms Badal was interacting with the media following the visit of a high level delegation of party leaders to Lakhimpur Kheri on Friday. She was accompanied by the committee members including Balwinder Singh Bhundur and Bikram Singh Majithia.
She said the victim families of farmers, who had been allegedly crushed to death by the union minister’s son Ashish Misra, did not have any hope for justice from the Uttar Pradesh government. ‘It is clear that justice cannot be done in the case till the union minister of state for Home is not dismissed. I fail to understand why he has not been dismissed till now. In fact a case should have been registered against Ajay Misra on September 25 when he incited people to commit violence against peacefully protesting farmers”.
