Sources said action was taken at a meeting today after demands of action by
Fitness farmers' organisations in Punjab. Manjit Singh Rai, the President of Bhartiya Kisan
Tips For Sustainable Union, Doaba, told NDTV that 32 farmers' unions are on the same page on the

Sources close to Mr Yadav said he had gone to visit the BJP worker's family last
week as "he felt he should".

"He said (at the meeting) that he was not sorry that he went to visit the family, but
is ready to apologise for not discussing the issue with the farmers' body
beforehand," the sources said.

Four farmers were run over in Lakhimpur Kheri, allegedly by Ashish Mishra, the
son of Union minister Ajay Mishra during a protest earlier this month. Violence and
arson broke out soon after, in which four others were killed.

Ashish Mishra was arrested on October 9, five days after he was named in a
murder case.

Four more people, including a BJP leader who was seen inside the SUV that
mowed down protesting farmers in Lakhimpur Kheri, have been arrested. Among
them is Local BJP leader Sumit Jaiswal, who was seen in a viral video escaping
from the lead SUV in the convoy of vehicles that crushed the farmers.

Sumit Jaiswal had filed a complaint with the police earlier, claiming that their
vehicles lost control due to stone-pelting by farmers and accidentally hit them. His
driver, friend, and two BJP workers were beaten to death later, he said in the
complaint.

Ajay Mishra - who is the junior home minister at the Centre - and his son have
denied that they were present at the spot, though the minister told NDTV that the
SUV belonged to his family.

Promoted

The farmers and the opposition have demanded that the minister step down and
action be taken against those responsible.

The matter has reached the Supreme Court, which has asked the
Uttar Pradesh government not to "drag its feet" and protect and 1

record the statement of all witnesses. "This should not be an
unending story," the top court has said.
