Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said the killing of farmers in Lakhimpur Kheri was "absolutely condemnable". When asked about the incident during a conversation at Harvard Kennedy School on Tuesday, the finance minister said the media and the activists should not just raise the issue "when it suits (them) because it's a state where BJP is in power." She further said that the farmers will get justice.
