Kin want justice, not just compensation: TMC MP
A five member delegation of the Trinamool Congress managed to sneak into Lakhimpur Kheri onTuesday and meet the when vehicles in Union Minister Ajay Kumar Mishra’s convoy allegedly ran amok.
Rajya Sabha MP Dola Sen who was part of the delegation, said it was shameful that in the 75th year of India’s Independence, the MPs and MLAs, who are meant to uphold the law, were brazenly committing murders and getting away with it.
Ms. Sen along with her Rajya Sabha colleagues Abir Ranjan Biswas and Sushmita Dev and Lok Sabha MPs Kakoli Ghosh Dastidar and Protima Mandal spent 14-hours on the road from Delhi to reach Lakhimpur Kheri on Monday night. At various checkposts en route where they were stopped, they escaped police scrutiny by posing as tourists. They stayed the night at Lakhimpur Kheri avoiding detection. Early on Tuesday they managed to visit the homes of 20-year-old Lovpreet Singh and 60-year-old Nachattar Singh.
