A purported video of junior home minister Ajay Mishra Teni allegedly abusing journalists on being asked about his jailed son Ashish Mishra has surfaced on social media. The interaction, according to reports, took place when the minister went to his constituency to inaugurate an event. He was questioned on the Lakhimpur Kheri incident in connection with which his son has been arrested. The question, as seen in the video, irked the minister as he started hurling abuses on media people.
As seen in the video, the minister exploded as he was asked about his son whom he reportedly visited. “There is no shame. Media people are thives who have put an accused person in jail..switch your phone off… what do you want to know,” the minister can be heard saying in the now-viral video.
The video comes at a time the Lakhimpur Kheri incident is in the spotlight with Congress MP Rahul Gandhi raising the demand of Ajay Mishra Teni’s resignation in Parliament.
“It has been said that it (Lakhimpur Kheri incident) is a conspiracy. It obviously is. Everyone knows whose son is involved. We want the minister (MoS Home Ajay Mishra) to resign. We want discussion in Parliament, but Prime Minister refuses. They are making excuses,” Rahul Gandhi said.
