After his statement has gone viral Congress has demanded his immediate sacking from the Chief Ministers post.

Congress chief spokesperson Randeep Surjewala said, if a Chief Minister will propogate violence then how will the law and order will run in the state.

One of the vehicles is said to belong to Ashish Mishra, son of Union Minister of State for Home, Ajay Mishra Teni.

Farmers have refused to allow post-mortem examinations of the deceased. They have said that they will decide the future course of action only after talking to their leaders.

Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has appealed for calm and has assured action against the responsible people.
