"We should be allowed to speak about the murder that was committed in Lakhimpur Kheri... where there was an involvement of the Minister and about which it has been said that it was a conspiracy," Rahul said as per news agency ANI.

The government's refusal to sack Ajay Mishra Teni is the starkest indication of its moral bankruptcy. @narendramodi ji, carefully curated spectacles of piety and wearing religious attire will not change the fact that you are protecting a criminal. ...Ajay Mishra Teni should be sacked and charged in accordance with the law, Priyanka Gandhi said in a series of tweets.
