On Monday, Maharashtra witnessed a statewide Bandh over the Lakhimpur violence incident. The three-party Maharashtra Vikas Agadi (MVA) alliance including NCP, Congress, and Shiv Sena came in support of farmers and has given a call for a statewide bandh to protest the killing of four farmers in Uttar Pradesh's Lakhimpur Kheri. In many states, there was a three-hour silent protest by the Congress party outside the Raj Bhavan today. When Priyanka Gandhi reiterated the demand for Ajay Mishra's resignation in Varanasi, Akhilesh Yadav raised questions on his continuing as Minister of State for Home, while Asaduddin Owaisi also asked why 'Abbajaan' of Ashish Mishra has not been removed from his post? Notably, eight people were killed in the violence at Tikunia, nearly 70km from Lakhimpur Kheri district headquarters. Among these, four farmers claim died after an SUV, allegedly part of the convoy of Union minister's son ran over them on October 3. Watch this episode of Halla Bol.
