The lone Muslim in Yogi cabinet, Danish Ansari also defends govt's bulldozer action, says it sends message to 'criminals & mafias' that country will run according to rule of law.
The idea that because Hindu constructions were targeted elsewhere, Muslim ones ought to meet the same fate smacks of retaliation and revenge, not the rule of law.
The Supreme Court status quo on Jahangirpuri has put a brake on bulldozers for now. But who knows when they will appear in any other part of the country?
On 19 April 1976, Indira Gandhi govt-ordered demolition drive razed buildings & shops, and as many people ran to protect their homes, the police opened fire.
Day after demolition drive in Delhi’s Jahangirpuri, Surat Municipal Corporation razed properties belonging to alleged gangster brothers Aarif & Sajju Kothari.
Sainik Farms in Delhi was once a vast green lung. It was first discovered by an army of retired generals, and later, a whole panoply of the capital’s smash-and-grabbers.
Images of bulldozers rolling down the streets of Jahangirpuri in Delhi have taken the internet by storm. These machines were initially developed as an alternative to tractors.
If there is an order of status quo, such as the one issued in the Jahangirpuri case, and if the petitioner asks for a copy immediately, it is provided if the court agrees.
With Aaj Tak’s Anjana Om Kashyap standing in the middle of a crowd that surrounded a bulldozer, the channel said: ‘Action will begin in a short while.’
Indian judiciary has a corrosive imbalance between the bar and the bench. Those who supervise the district judiciary do so without the lived experience that is essential for meaningful reform.
With the US-India trade deal yet to get done, rupee depreciation may be helping to mitigate India’s loss of competitiveness. The other problem is extreme despondence among overseas equity investors.
Of the total package, $649 million will be utilised for additional hardware, software, and support services, and the remaining for Major Defence Equipment (MDE).
Don’t blame misfortune. This is colossal incompetence and insensitivity. So bad, heads would have rolled even in the old PSU-era Indian Airlines and Air India.
