BJP MP Varun Gandhi, who has been critical of the three farm laws, has darted a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi saying many innocent lives could have been saved had the three contentious law been repealed earlier.
In a letter to Modi on Saturday, the BJP’s MP from Pilibhit in Uttar Pradesh has written to the Prime Minister seeking Rs 1 crore compensation for such families, withdrawing “politically motivated false FIRs” against the protesters and making Minimum Support Price legally binding.

Varun has asked the PM to take “strict action” against Union Minister Ajay Kumar Mishra whose son Ashish Mishra is under arrest for the October 3 incident in Lakhimpur Kheri.
Varun is the first BJP leader to have sought action against the Union minister publicly for the Lakhimpur Kheri violence.
In the letter, he also pointed out that many leaders in senior positions had given 'provocative statements and the adversarial atmosphere created around the movement, that on October 3, five of our farmer brothers were crushed to death by vehicles in Lakhimpur Kheri'.
