Early repeal of laws could have saved lives: Varun to Modi
Description
NEW DELHI: BJP MP Varun Gandhi wrote to Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday, requesting him to accept farmers' demand for MSP guarantee for their crops and also sought action against Union minister Ajay Mishra, holding him responsible for the violence in Lakhimpur Kheri. In his letter posted on Twitter, the MP from Pilibhit in poll-bound UP said till this demand of farmers is not met, their movement will not end. Varun thanked Modi for his "large-heartedness" in announcing the decision to repeal the three farm laws, but added "more than 700 farmer brothers and sisters have been martyred in this movement." He wrote, "If this decision had been taken earlier, innocent lives would not have been lost." Varun also demanded that Rs 1 crore compensation be given to farmers "martyred" in this movement.
