Chennai: Tamilnadu Chief Minister M K Stalin has condemned the violence at Lakhimpur in Uttar Pradesh, where the farmers were brutally attacked, and said withdrawal of the three Farm laws alone will lead to total peace.
He also demanded a judicial inquiry into the incident. In a statement, he said the attack on the farmers was strongly condemnable. Nine people, including a journalist, have died in the incident following which the violence escalated.
Stating that the farmers were protesting against the Farm laws for more than 300 days, he said the indifferent attitude of the Centre has led to such incidents.
He said Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra was arrested when she visited Uttar Pradesh to meet the families of the victims. Former UP Chief Minister Akilesh Yadav was kept under house arrest and released later.
Demanding a judicial probe against those involved in the violence, Stalin said the Centre should realise that withdrawal of the three Farm laws alone will lead to total peace.
