Punjab Congress leader Navjot Singh Sidhu has announced to sit on a ‘maun vrat’ (fasting for silence) at the residence of journalist Raman Kashyap who was killed in the violence that broke out in Lakhimpur Kheri district last Sunday.
Sidhu was also detained at the Saharanpur border in Uttar Pradesh on Thursday. He was accompanied by other ministers and MLAs of his party Lakhimpur Kheri.
Meanwhile, days after the violence, Union Minister Ajay Misra on Wednesday said that the car had lost balance after the driver was injured in the attack and ran over a few people present on the spot.
“There is no video. We have issued numbers, and if anyone has evidence, they can upload it. All will be crystal clear,” the minister also said, adding, “there will be no injustice with anyone. No one will be allowed to take the law in their hand.”
Reiterating his statement that son Ashish Misra was not present in the car, Ajay Misra has called for an unbiased probe into the incident.
