Press Statement
 
The Polit Bureau of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) has issued the
following statement:
 
Sack Minister Ajay Misra 
 
The CPI(M) demands the sacking of the Minister of State for Home Affairs,
Ajay Mishra Teni  for his direct responsibility in the barbaric atrocity of
mowing down peacefully protesting farmers in Lakhimpur Kheri on October 3.
It was he, a Minister in a most sensitive Ministry mandated to protect law
and order, who violated all norms by  making a most provocative speech on
September 25 threatening and inciting violence against farmers who
protesting against the farm laws. 
 
Even after the killings, in which his son was involved, he has justified the
atrocity, blaming the farmers. There is clear video evidence of the convoy,
with sirens blaring, driving into the farmers and killing them. The Minister
has gone so far as to accuse those injured and killed as being "outsiders"
and claimed the involvement of "Khalistani" elements to defend himself and
his relatives.
 
No enquiry can be impartial with him as the Minster of State for Home. 
 
The lockdown of democracy by the Adityanath Government and arrest of
opposition leaders on their way to meet the bereaved families is highly
condemnable. The CPI(M) demands their release and free movement to meet the
families and those injured.
