It seems to be a well-planned conspiracy to scare the farmers," he added.One IYC member said that the Congress will continue to fight for justice for every sections in the country.The party workers said that while Prime Minister Narendra Modi had time to visit the US, he doesn't even have 10 minutes to spare to meet the farmers of his own country."Till Ajay Misra does not resign from his post, the Youth Congress will continue its fight," said IYC national media in-charge Rahul Rao.The Congress also carried out similar silent protests in Maharashtra, Karnataka and Goa on Monday.A total of nine persons, including a local journalist and four farmers, were killed in the October 3 Lakhimpur Kheri incident.Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
