She wrote, "I have met the victims' families in Lakhimpur. They are all in unbearable pain. Everyone says that they only want justice for their loved ones. And till the Union Minister of State for Home is in his post. They have no hope of justice. The recent status of investigation in the Lakhimpur case proves the apprehensions of those families right. Amit Shah ji, responsible for the country's law and order, and UP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath share the stage with the same minister."

"You are the PM of the country. You understand very well your responsibility towards the farmers of the country. Ensuring justice for every countryman is not only a duty but it is also your moral obligation. While addressing the nation yesterday, you had said that with a sincere heart and a pure heart, it was decided to withdraw the agriculture law for the benefit of the farmers. You said that you have a noble intention towards the farmers of the country and if this is true then it should be paramount for you to get justice for the victims in the Lakhimpur case.
