The exclusion of Swamy and Varun as well as that of Birendra Singh was seen in the context of them being at odds with the party’s stance: both had strayed from the official line to criticize the Centre’s response to protests against the three contentious farm laws.
Undeterred, Gandhi on Thursday continued to vent out his anger over the Lakhimpur Kheri incident, saying justice must be swiftly delivered, before every farmer considers the regime “arrogant and cruel”.
These recent development have sparked a debate on social media where netizens are pointing that BJP accuses Congress of having a ‘high command culture’, but is soon becoming like them.

Action against Varun Gandhi for saying the right thing on Lakhimpur Kheri but nothing against Ajay Misra whose car was used to kill farmers.

‘Limited freedom’
Varun Gandhi is free to condemn a crime. So long as that crime is committed in West Bengal or Maharashtra, and not by someone from BJP.

However, there were many who felt BJP did the right thing by sacking mother-son duo and Swamy.
