New Delhi: Since the incident of Lakhimpur Kheri, the opposition is constantly trying to reach Lakhimpur. Different political opponents have registered their protests against the state and central government.
While talking to ETV Bharat, after his meeting with Congress leader Rahul Gandhi in connection with the incident, Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut said that Priyanka Gandhi has been arrested for disturbing the peace while the person who mowed down protesting farmers is still roaming free. He questioned whether mowing down protesting farmers is considered as 'disturbing peace'.
Raut questioned the state of democracy in the country where protesting farmers are being mowed down and expressing solidarity with the farmers is considered as disturbing peace. When asked whether the opposition parties will come together on one platform to protest, Sanjay Raut, while not disclosing the strategy ahead, said that it was a work in progress.
