In a recent update to Lakhimpur violence, Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav on Monday, October 4, has demanded resignation of the Union minister Ajay Misra.
In an interview with India Today TV, Akhilesh Yadav said that while Ajay Misra should resign immediately, his son, Ashish Misra, should be imprisoned for “deliberately running over a group of farmers.”
“Even in the Hitler rule, such a thing wouldn’t have happened in which farmers are deliberately run over by a car,” Akhilesh Yadav told India Today TV.

“A day before the Lakhimpur Kheri violence, the MoS (Home) threatened the farmers,” he further added. His son ran them over the next day, killing them onspot. Those responsible for the murders should be apprehended right away.”
“The Union minister (Ajay Misra) must resign immediately. There is video evidence showing the minister’s son is responsible for the killings in Lakhimpur Kheri,” said Akhilesh Yadav.
Earlier, Union Minister of State for Home, Ajay Mishra Teni, has said that he would resign from his post if anyone could produce even a single piece of evidence of his son Ashish Mishra being present at the spot where violence broke out in Lakhimpur Kheri on Sunday.
