New Delhi, Nov 20 (TIWN) BJP MP Varun Gandhi, who has been criticising his own party for the last few months, on Saturday shot off a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and sought a law on Minimum Support Price (MSP) for farmers and an impartial probe into the Lakhimpur Kheri violence.
In a letter to the prime minister, the MP from Pilibhit in poll-bound Uttar Pradesh also asked him to take action against Union minister Ajay Kumar Mishra 'Teni' for the violence in Lakhimpur Kheri without taking his name.
Gandhi thanked Modi for repealing the three farm laws. "if this decision had been taken earlier, innocent lives would not have been lost." he added, a day after Modi announced the rollback of the three farm laws.
In his letter, Gandhi underscored the need to accept the farmers'
"This movement will not end without the resolution of this demand and there will be widespread anger amongst them, which will continue to emerge in one form or the other. Therefore, it is very important for the farmers to get the statutory guarantee of MSP for their crops," he wrote.
He said the legal binding on MSP will give sizeable economic security cover to farmers. "My humble request to you is that the government must immediately accept this demand in the interests of our nation."
