Bulldozer Represents The Arbitrary Order: Congress’ P Chidambaram

Mumbai: Congress leader P Chidambaram on Thursday said the bulldozer represents the “arbitrary order”. His remark came in reaction to the demolition drive in Delhi’s Jahangirpuri area.

“We see the rule of law break down every day” and soon there will be “no law and no rules,” the former home minister wrote on Twitter. Also Read: India Now Identified With Minority Persecution, Islamophobia: Shashi Tharoor

In a series of tweets, Chidambaram stated: “Once arbitrary ‘Orders’ override ‘Law’, we are on the road to hell”.

“The Bulldozer represents the arbitrary ‘Order’. The Supreme Court represents ‘Law’. Yesterday, we saw the Bulldozer defy the Law. Let’s see what happens today,” he added.

On Wednesday morning, several-concrete and temporary structures near a mosque were vandalized as part of an anti-encroachment drive by the BJP-ruled North Delhi Municipal Corporation (NDMC).

The move comes days after the neighbourhood of North West Delhi was shaken by communal violence.

The Supreme Court had to intervene twice to stop the campaign after taking cognizance of a petition filed by Jamiat Ulema-e-Hind against the demolition.

Delhi BJP President Adesh Gupta had alleged that the opposition parties were giving political colour to the removal of encroachments by the rioters.

This anti-encroachment drive was not the first time that the North Corporation has taken action in the area. He claimed that this is the seventh such action in the region, reported news agency PTI.

Jahangirpuri witnessed violence and arson last week during a Hanuman Jayanti procession with people from two communities engaging in stone-pelting.
