MUMBAI: After Rahul and Priyanka Gandhi, the Shiv Sena was all praise for BJP MP
Varun Gandhi on Monday for speaking out in favour of farmers.
Urging all farmer organisations to pass a resolution applauding him for his stand on the
Lakhimpur Kheri
incident, the Shiv Sena said that Varun was the only ‘man’ in the BJP who dared to condemn the assault on farmers not caring about the political price he would have to pay.
An editorial headlined ‘Congratulations Varun Gandhi’ in Saamana, the Shiv Sena mouthpiece, said,“Varun and his mother, Maneka Gandhi, were removed from the party’s national executive and punished. He supported the farmers openly and demanded strict action against those who crushed them. He did not say anything wrong.Varun Gandhi spoke with courage.”
The editorial also hit out at the BJP. “No one is willing to listen to farmers. Prime Minister Modi, Home Minister Amit Shah and the country’s Agriculture Minister have not even condemned the incident. At least the Agriculture Minister should have visited Lakhimpur-Kheri. But he didn’t go, and, instead, stopped those who wanted to go there. How many BJP leaders have condemned the killing of farmers in Lakhimpur Kheri? BJP MP Varun Gandhi is the only rare instance,” the editorial said.
