Lucknow, February 4
Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi on Thursday visited Rampur and met the family of Navreet Singh who died during farmers’ tractor rally in New Delhi on the Republic Day.
The Congress leader also attended the ‘Antim Ardas’ (prayer meeting) held in the Dibdiba village in Vilaspur tehsil. The Congress leader later addressed a gathering and said that the martyrdom of Singh would not go in vain.
“The whole nation is with you. Everyone knows that farmers are being wronged. To term farmers as terrorists is unacceptable,” Gandhi said.
It may be noted that though the family members had said that it was not a political event but a prayer meeting, Samajwadi Party leader Ram Govind Chaudhary and Rashtriya Lok Dal leader Jayant Chaudhary also attend the prayer meet.
Earlier in the day, four cars of Priyanka Gandhi’s cavalcade hit each other while she was on her way to Rampur to meet the family of Singh. Fortunately, no injuries were reported.
The four cars bumped into each other on National Highway-9 in Hapur district while the convoy was moving towards Rampur.
