Speaking during Zero Hour, Lekhi said the Supreme Court has spoken about "mobocracy" on Tuesday.
Giving instances of the killing of Bengal migrant worker Manik Roy and an adivasi youth Madhu in Kerala, Lekhi said these cases of lynchings were on account of economic issues.
"It is because of economic disparity," she said.
Last month, Roy was beaten up by a group of men in Thiruvananthapuram in Kerala on the suspicion that he had stolen a hen. He had later succumbed to injuries. In February, a 30-year old tribal man Madhu was beaten by an irate mob, accusing him of theft.
The Supreme Court had yesterday asked the Government to enact a new legislation to deal with incidents of mob lynchings and vigilantism.
Speaking during the Zero Hour, Nishikant Dubey (BJP) raised the issue of Missionaries of Charity and alleged that it was operating a racket of illegal conversion and adoption.
