“@narendramodi Sir, your government has kept me in custody for the last 28 hours without any order and FIR. This person who crushed the annadata (farmers) has not been arrested yet. Why?” tweeted Priyanka Gandhi with an alleged video clip of the Lakhimpur Kheri incident.
.@narendramodi जी आपकी सरकार ने बग़ैर किसी ऑर्डर और FIR के मुझे पिछले 28 घंटे से हिरासत में रखा है।

Gandhi was detained while she was on her way to violence-hit Lakhimpur Kheri.
Meanwhile, former Congress president Rahul Gandhi said his sister Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, who has been detained in Uttar Pradesh’s Sitapur on her way to violence-hit Lakhimpur district, is “fearless” and a “true Congressi” who will not accept defeat.
जिसे हिरासत में रखा है, वो डरती नहीं है- सच्ची कांग्रेसी है, हार नहीं मानेगी!
सत्याग्रह रुकेगा नहीं।#FarmersProtest

He also asserted that he “satyagraha” will not stop. Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi was detained in Sitapur on her way to Lakhimpur Kheri, where eight people died and several others were injured on Sunday in the bloodiest clash since the farmers’ protest over the Centre’s agri laws began last year.
“The one who has been kept in custody, is fearless– is a true Congressi, will not accept defeat! Satyagraha will not stop,” Rahul Gandhi said in a tweet in Hindi, using the hashtag ‘FarmersProtest’.
प्रियंका, मैं जानता हूँ तुम पीछे नहीं हटोगी- तुम्हारी हिम्मत से वे डर गए हैं।
न्याय की इस अहिंसक लड़ाई में हम देश के अन्नदाता को जिता कर रहेंगे। #NoFear #लखीमपुर_किसान_नरसंहार

Four of the dead in Lakhimpur were farmers, allegedly knocked down by vehicles driven by BJP workers travelling to welcome Uttar Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Keshav Prasad Maurya.
