SP spokesperson and MLC Sunil Singh Sajan hit out at Shah in a tweet, saying, “Amit Shah, who can see criminals with binoculars, shared the stage with his ‘father’ at the DG conference in Lucknow. Home Minister is sharing the stage with the father of a criminal, so what is the point of police in front of criminals and why such DG conference is needed, Modi ji?

He said, ‘You are the Prime Minister of the country and you must be understanding your responsibility towards the farmers very well. While addressing the nation yesterday, you had said that you are repealing laws in the interest of farmers with true intention and pure heart. If all this is true then you should ensure justice for the families of the deceased farmers in Lakhimpur. However, Ajay Mishra Teni will continue to be a minister in your government. If you share the stage with them at the DGP conference then a message will go to the families of the victims that you stand with those who rescued the killers,” Gandhi wrote in his letter.
“It will also be an insult to the 700 farmers who lost their lives during the farmers’ protest,” he said.
“If your intention towards the farmers of the country is pure, then do not share the stage with the Union Minister of State and instead remove him from his post. You should also withdraw the cases against the farmers of the country and ensure financial assistance for the martyr farmers,” Priyanka Gandhi Vadra said in her letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
