MP Min questions Rahul, Priyanka's silence on Kashmir targeted attacks, Jashpur hit & run

Madhya Pradesh Home Minister Dr Narottam Mishra criticised the Congress leadership on Tuesday over its stand on the Lakhimpur Kheri incident and said why did not they say anything after the “Kashmir and Chhattisgarh violence." Mishra was addressing a press conference after the Cabinet meeting today and said while speaking to the media, "Gandhi family is not concerned with any problem of the country. Rahul and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra are only concerned with baking their political loaves. On Lakhimpur Kheri, Rahul and Priyanka created hue and cry over the incident, but stayed silent on Kashmir killings and Chhattisgarh incident."

Earlier last week, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi questioned Prime Minister Narendra Modi on his silence over the incidents of the alleged murders of farmers and BJP workers. Gandhi further said that the PM has remained silent on the issues of rising inflation, the surge in oil prices and unemployment in the country. He tweeted, "PM silent- Rising inflation - oil price, unemployment, farmer and BJP worker murdered, PM violent - Lack of camera and photo ops, true criticism, question on friends.”
