Senior Congress leader Kapil Sibal today asked Prime Minister Narendra Modi how he would have reacted to the violence in Uttar Pradesh's Lakhimpur Kheri in which eight persons were killed.
"Modi ji, why are you silent? We need just one word of sympathy from you. That should not be difficult. Had you been in opposition how would you have reacted? Please tell us," Mr Sibal tweeted.
The Congress, which has kept up its attack on the centre and the Yogi Adityanath government over Sunday's violence, has been demanding the resignation of Union Minister Ajay Mishra whose son allegedly ran over an SUV on protesting farmers.

Two people who were at the location of the incident have been arrested, the police said. Though the Minister of State for Home has admitted the SUV belonged to him, he said he and his son were not present at the spot.
