Don't share dais with Teni, Priyanka urges PM

Description

NEW DELHI: Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra asked PM Modi in a letter on Saturday not to share the dais with Union minister Ajay Mishra Teni at the DGP conference in Lucknow since his son was the prime accused in the killing of farmers in Lakhimpur Kheri . "If your sentiments for farmers are true, then please do not share the stage with your minister of state for home and dismiss him from his post," she said, a day after saying the government's move to repeal farm laws was driven by the fear of losing elections. Priyanka demanded the withdrawal of cases against farmers across the country and sought financial aid for the families of protesters who died during the protest against the farm laws.
