MIM party chief Asaduddin Owaisi on Wednesday asked if Prime Minister Narendra Modi would undertake a fast on the farmer suicides issue and also to atone for "false" promises made by him.

“If the prime minister wants to fast for losing whole session of Parliament, I want to ask the honourable prime minister where is his sense of duty lost, wherein, in the past four years thousands of farmers committed suicides," he said.

"Will the prime minister fast for those farmers? Will he sit on fast against the attrocities against dalits in Uttar Pradesh. Why does not the prime minister sit on fast to atone for his false promises,” the Hyderabad Lok Sabha MP asked.

Speaking to reporters, Owasi said he wanted to know the stand of BJP and PM Modi on the incident of rape and murder of a minor girl in Jammu and Kashmir.

Charging Yogi Adityanath government in Uttar Pradesh with partiality, Owaisi alleged that the state is not run by rule of law, but rule by gun and rule by appeasement.

He said the people of UP will give a "strong" reply at an appropriate time to all these misgovernance.
