While the UP government had earlier denied permission to Rahul Gandhi, his sister Priyanka Gandhi Vadra has been in detention in Sitapur's PAC compound since early Monday.
Family members of farmer Gurvinder Singh had earlier refused to cremate him, claiming that he was shot dead but the post-mortem report had no mention of it.
Police said DMs of the districts raised concerns that Gandhi's visit could create problems. Prohibitory orders are also in place in Sitapur where Priyanka Gandhi is under detention.
Modi's 35-minute speech in Lucknow, about 150 km away from Lakhimpur Kheri site where four farmers were mowed down allegedly by BJP minister Ajay Mishra's son, was bad timing.
Police deny allegations made by brother of Raman Kashyap, say he died after he was taken to hospital. Journalist Raman was one of 8 people killed in Lakhimpur Kheri Sunday.
Journalists’ body says there are competing versions about Raman Kashyap’s death, but it’s clear he was on assignment, so probe is needed to establish cause.
Gurvinder Singh was among the 4 farmers killed in Sunday’s violence at Lakhimpur Kheri. His family refused to cremate him Tuesday, reiterating the allegation that he was shot dead.
Indian judiciary has a corrosive imbalance between the bar and the bench. Those who supervise the district judiciary do so without the lived experience that is essential for meaningful reform.
November exports to the US saw 10% growth from the previous month. Overall, in the first 8 months this fiscal, the merchandise exports to the US touched has touched $59bn.
Of the total package, $649 million will be utilised for additional hardware, software, and support services, and the remaining for Major Defence Equipment (MDE).
Don’t blame misfortune. This is colossal incompetence and insensitivity. So bad, heads would have rolled even in the old PSU-era Indian Airlines and Air India.
