Chandigarh, October 4

The Chandigarh Youth Congress today took out a candle march across Chandigarh against the violence during a farmers’ protest at Lakhimpur Kheri on Sunday.

Its chief, Manoj Lubana, said the Lakhimpur Kheri violence showed the insensitive face of the ruling BJP. He said the incident would prove the last nail in the BJP’s coffin.

Chandigarh Congress president Subhash Chawla warned BJP ministers and lawmakers against entering and organising programmes in Chandigarh as people were angry and anything could happen. Manish Bansal, who was also present during the march, alleged: “The incident at Lakhimpur Kheri is highly deplorable.”
