Lakhimpur violence: Farmers to protest across nation on Tuesday to demand sacking of Union minister Ajay Misra

Protesting farmers have called for a nationwide demonstration on Tuesday to demand the sacking of Union Minister Ajay Misra, whose son is an accused in the Lakhimpur Kheri incident.

Farmers protesting against the central farm laws will hold a countrywide protest on Tuesday to demand the sacking of Union Minister Ajay Misra 'Teni', whose son is an accused in the Lakhimpur Kheri episode in which eight people, including farmers, were killed.

The call for the protest has been made by the Samyukta Kisan Morcha (SKM), a farmer unions' collective leading the anti-farm laws stir since November 2020 at Delhi's borders, the Bhartiya Kisan Union (BKU), which is part of the movement, said.
