New Delhi: Congress Rajya Sabha MP Deepender Hooda, who is also a member of the party's screening committee for Uttar Pradesh Assembly polls, backed the demand made by Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra in her letter, saying that Prime Minister sharing the stage with Minister of State for Home Affairs Ajay Mishra Teni will send a wrong message across the country as the Union Minister's son is an accused in Lakhimpur Kheri violence.
While speaking to the media, Congress Rajya Sabha MP said, "When we went to visit the victims' families at Lakhimpur, under the leadership of Priyanka (Gandhi) Ji, there was an apprehension among all of them that till the time, Teni ji will remain MoS Home, justice will not prevail because, at the end of the day, police and administration at Lakhimpur are bound to be influenced or at least will be under pressure from those who are running the government,"
