FIR Against BJP Leader Manoj Tiwari : Broke ‘Seal’ Lock
“I broke the seal against the pick and choose policy by the corporation"
Mumbai, (New Delhi) : The FIR was registered against BJP Leader Manoj Tiwari under sections 188 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC), and 461, and 465 of Delhi Municipal Corporation (DMC) Act for breaking the sealed lock of a house in an unauthorised colony in Delhi’s Gukulpur.
However, he has denied the charges by justifying that he broke it open when the Gukulpur residents told him that the municipal corporation had sealed only one house among the 1,000s.
“I broke the seal against the pick and choose policy by the corporation. The locals claimed all the houses were illegally constructed but a particular house was singled out for action by the corporation,” he said.
Also, he will approach court against Municipal Corporation for being choosy. I will not even spare municipal corporations, even though the BJP rules them, in such matters,” he said, adding that the Delhi-led government had failed to address the issue of illegal colonies in the city. “The Congress-ruled Delhi for 15 years and the AAP is at the helm of affairs for the last 3.5 years. They never made any sincere efforts to address the issue of unauthorised colonies in Delhi,” he said.
The Supreme Court is carrying a sealing drive against the business establishments happening in residential areas for commercial purposes.
However, The act didn’t go well with the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and other political parties that lashed out at the BJP leader for ruining Delhi. “They themselves seal properties in the morning and break the lock in the evening. Do they think that people are stupid?” Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal asked in a tweet.
