BJP holds Tikait responsible for Singhu ‘execution’ on Friday blamed farmer leader Rakesh Tikait for inspiring the barbaric killing.
After a 34-year-old young man was found mutilated and strung to a police barricade near the protest site along the Delhi-Haryana border at Singhu, Amit Malvyia, in charge of BJP’s IT Cell, tweeted: “Had Rakesh Tikait not justified mob lynching in Lakhimpur, with Yogendra Yadav, sitting next to him, maintaining sanctimonious silence, the gory murder of a youth at Kundali border would not have happened.”

He also said, Anarchists behind these protests in the name of farmers need to be exposed,” he said. Tikait just days back during the Indian Today conclave said lynching of the BJP workers in Uttar Pradesh’s Lakhimpur Kheri, was primarily a “reaction to the action”.
Two BJP workers, a local journalist and a driver of Union Minister Ajay Mishra were killed after four farmers were mowed down by cars in the minister’s convoy on October 3. The car is alleged to have been driven by his son Ashish Mishra.
Then early on Friday, a video emerged on social media that showed the mutilated body of a man was found tied to a barricade. His hand was chopped off as well as both legs, and he was left to bleed to death. The Haryana Police has filed an FIR in the case and said the investigation is underway.
The police probe the role of Nihang Sikhs and the SP said: ‘There are several videos circulating where some Nihang Sikhs have claimed that the unidentified man disrespected their holy book’ where according to police, the initial probe indicates that the Nihang Sikhs, a warrior group, allegedly killed him on suspicion of disrespecting the Sikh holy book, the Guru Granth Sahib by tearing it up.
The victim was identified as 35-year-old Lakhbir Singh, a resident of Cheema Kalan Village in Punjab’s Tarn Taran district. The village sarpanch, Avan Kumar, and the local DSP, Sucha Singh, confirmed his identity.
However, why on earth would Tikait want to spoil the farmers’ names and weaken their protests at this time by instigating such an event and the SKM Farmers Movement firmly deny any involvement.
