Supporting BJP MP Varun Gandhi’s support for the farmers’ movement, especially after the Lakhmipur Kheri incident, the Shiv Sena on Monday said all farmers’ organizations should pass a resolution appreciating his stand on the issue. An editorial in Shiv Sena mouthpiece ‘Saamana’ also asked whether the blood of other MPs had gone cold even after witnessing the horrific incident of eight people, including four farmers, in Uttar Pradesh’s Lakhmipur Kheri earlier this month. The death of four farmers drew strong reaction from farmer leaders, while opposition parties attacked the BJP-led central and UP governments. The country cannot tolerate attempts to spread enmity. Varun Gandhi (former prime minister) is the grandson of Indira Gandhi and the son of Sanjay Gandhi. It has been said in the editorial that seeing the terror of Lakhmipur, his blood boiled and he expressed his opinion.
The Marathi publication said that Varun Gandhi showed political courage without thinking of any consequences and condemned the killing of farmers. The Shiv Sena said farmer leaders should pass a resolution appreciating Varun Gandhi, who broke away from long-time ally BJP after the Maharashtra Assembly elections in 2019 over the issue of sharing the chief minister’s post. The ‘Maharashtra Bandh’ called by ruling allies Shiv Sena, NCP and Congress in the state on Monday is for those who cannot express their feelings openly, the editorial said.

The Pilibhit MP, who was recently ousted from the BJP’s national executive, said the struggle for justice in Lakhimpur Kheri is about a “brutal massacre of poor farmers in front of an arrogant local power elite”, and this The issue has no religious meaning. He said, “Using the word ‘Khalistani’ to describe the protesting farmers liberally is not only an insult to the generations of these proud sons of Terai, who have fought and shed blood on our borders, it is also an insult to our national unity. Extremely dangerous. Provokes the wrong kind of reaction,” he had said.
The police on Saturday arrested Ashish Mishra, son of Union Minister of State for Home Ajay Mishra, in connection with the October 3 violence in Lakhimpur Kheri. Ashish Mishra’s name was registered in the FIR following allegations that it was one of the vehicles that ran over four farmers protesting the visit of Uttar Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Keshav Prasad Maurya last Sunday.
Varun Gandhi is sympathetic to farmers’ protests against the three agricultural laws and often tweets in support of them, a stance that is said to have not gone down well with the BJP leadership.
