BKU leaders demands dismissal of Union Minister Ajay Mishra
Describing Ashish Mishra’s three-day police custody as a “red carpet remand”, Bharatiya Kisan Union national spokesperson Rakesh Tikait said on Monday that justice would not be served until his father Minister of State for Home Affairs Ajay Mishra was dismissed from the Union Cabinet and arrested.
“I am told that his lawyers have been allowed to be present during questioning. How can the police question the son of a sitting minister,” he asked.
Mr. Tikait claimed that the Minister was an accused under section 120b of IPC (criminal conspiracy). “When both father and son will be taken into remand like common people, they would tell who all were involved in the incident of October 3,” said Mr. Tikait.

The Karnataka government has drafted a comprehensive master plan for the integrated development of Kukke Subrahmanya temple, the State’s highest revenue-generating temple managed by the Hindu Religious Institutions and Charitable Endowments Department. The redevelopment initiative is estimated to cost around ₹254 crore and aims to enhance infrastructure and facilities for devotees.
