Congress leader Rahul Gandhi attacked Prime Minister Narendra Modi for not visiting violence-hit Lakhimpur Kheri when he was in Uttar Pradesh yesterday.
Six districts in Uttar Pradesh under the Agra division have been placed on alert in the wake of the Lakhimpur Kheri incident and subsequent protests by farmers and political parties.
The events at Lakhimpur Kheri, where farmers were allegedly mowed down by a car driven by the son of a Union minister, should be investigated by the CBI under the supervision of the Supreme Court, lawyers have written to the Chief Justice of India.
