Congress protests against detention; Rahul Gandhi to visit Lakhimpur on Wednesday

Opposition Leaders across the political spectrum joined Congress on Tuesday to protest against the farmer deaths in Lakhimpur Kheri and the “illegal detention” and subsequent arrest of its leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra in Sitapur district of UP. Upping the ante against Priyanka’s arrest, Congress said its former party chief Rahul Gandhi will head to Kheri on Wednesday to meet with the family of the deceased farmers.
