Lakhimpur Kheri violence was pre-planned: Asaduddin Owaisi

All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) chief Asaduddin Owaisi stated that the Lakhimpur Kheri violence was “pre-planned”. He also berated the Centre and Uttar Pradesh Government over the violence in which eight persons including four farmers were killed. Speaking to ANI, Owaisi said, " Lakhimpur Kheri violence was pre-planned. Both the Uttar Pradesh government and Centre are to be blamed for this (Lakhimpur) incident because the Home Ministry's MoS made a provocative speech a few days ago regarding (farmers protest) which led to this incident."
