Lakhimpur violence: 'Yogi promised Ram Rajya, party workers running amok'

The bereaved families have only one thing to say: "We don't want money. Give us back our sons."

Muzaffarnagar, Sitapur, and several other kisan mahapanchayats which were called by the Samyukta Kisan Morcha had at least one common attendee — Daljit Singh, one of the four farmers mowed by an SUV belonging to Union Minister of State (Home) Ajay Mishra in Lakhimpur. He was primed for another showdown with BJP leaders, this time with Deputy Chief Minister Keshav Prasad Maurya and Mishra. “He had called dozens of farmers, asking them to join the protest. I tagged along,” said Rajdeep Singh, son of Daljit Singh.
 
“We were marching peacefully when three cars ran over us,” he claimed.
