He claimed that the incident in Lakhimpur Kheri was part of a bigger conspiracy and, therefore, a high-level inquiry must be ordered.The BJP leader said before and after India's Independence, there have been many farmer protests. And leaders like Sardar Patel, Sharad Joshi and Mahendra Singh Tikait, and he himself also has been a part of many agitations and been to prison several times.

"What kind of a farmer protest is this that you will not allow political leaders to hold rallies and their choppers to land here."Tomar alleged that anti-national elements have infiltrated the farmers' protest and said similar anti-national elements had orchestrated the violence in Red Fort on January 26, and now in Lakhimpur Kheri also.

Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has already assured of strict punishment to all culprits involved in the violence."Responding to Pilibhit BJP MP Varun Gandhi's letter to Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister, the BJP Rajya Sabha MP said, "It is not right to term the violence as murder even before conducting an investigation. Let the investigation take place first, let the truth come out and as far as the demand for a CBI inquiry is concerned, the Uttar Pradesh government is conducting a high-level inquiry and if need arises, a CBI inquiry will also be ordered as well."Asked about targeting the Union Minister of State for Home, Ajay Mishra by opposition parties, the former National President of BJP Kisan Morcha, said the Union Minister has clarified that his son Ashish Mishra was present in the village and video footage is also being cited in this regard.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
