RLD MP Shri Jayant Chaudhary writes to Akhilesh, asks to withdraw cases against farmers.
Coming out in support of farmers facing legal proceedings in Agra and Mathura districts for agitating against Uttar Pradesh's land acquisition drive, RLD MP from Mathura, Jayant Chaudhary, today demanded that the cases against them be withdrawn. The RLD leader, in a letter to UP Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav, said it was highly unjustified that farmers were forced to give up their land and also had to bear the brunt of police brutality and face legal action. Since the UP government had already withdrawn cases against farmers of Bhatta Parsaul, it would be prudent to withdraw cases against farmers in Agra, Mathura, Meerut and Allahabad districts of Uttar Padesh, he pointed out.
Several cases were slapped against the farmers in the wake of their agitation during the previous Mayawati regime in UP.
