Union Minister of State for Home Ajay Mishra Teni’s son Ashish Mishra, accused of Lakhimpur violence, got bail today. He has been granted bail by the Lucknow Bench of the Allahabad High Court.

Baljinder Mann, a farmer leader of the Bharatiya Kisan Union (Tikait), who is looking into the matter, told Bhaskar that during the hearing today, when it came to the farmers’ lawyer to speak, the internet connection was cut. The hearing has been done online, so the bail application has been approved after hearing one-sided. Mann says that the application for re-hearing has been given. The future strategy is being worked out now.
Bail to Teni’s son is BJP’s self goal?
In the Tikunia violence of Lakhimpur, the victims’ families were satisfied to some extent with the filing of the chargesheet. At present, the farmer organizations are making their further strategy on this decision.
Aman Sandhu, a farmer leader from Lakhimpur, says that Ajay Teni’s son was granted bail as soon as the elections were over in western Uttar Pradesh. The main reason for this is the cultivation of Brahmin votes in the elections to be held in other places in the state. Farmer leader Gurpreet Singh says that by coming out of Ashish Teni, BJP has put a nail in its coffin, but it is going to cost the BJP very badly.

Journalist and farmer Raman Kashyap’s house is guarded by about ten security personnel in Nighasan village of Lakhimpur. Raman Kashyap lost his life in Tikunia violence. Raman’s father Ramdulare says that Ashish Mishra’s coming out doesn’t matter, but he will be more and more opposed now.
Among those who lost their lives in this violence was 19-year-old Lovepreet Singh of village Bhagwant Nagar. His parents say that they have no hope of getting justice. He calls the investigation report of the SIT as election propaganda. Lovepreet Singh’s mother Satnam Kaur says, ‘This mother will not sit like this until Teni is removed from the post.’
