Violation of laws, infringement of fundamental/human rights of others based on religion, lynching in the name of cow, hoodlums taking law into their hands in the streets, and the authorities endorsing all this anarchy are the new norms in our country.Court orders and the laws of the land are no bar for these activities.One of the key activities is the demolition of religious places of Muslims and their buildings, terming it removal of illegal encroachment. Even centuries-old structures are demolished for being “illegal” if they belong to Muslims. Given below are some news items related to bulldozer politics in the past few days while a ban on it by the Supreme Court exists.Portions of a mosque in Dharavi in Mumbai are being demolished calling it “unauthorised.”A mosque, dargah, and a graveyard, believed to be over 500 years old, were demolished in Gujarat’s Gir Somnath district on September 28. Authorities in Assam’s Kamrup Metropolitan district have bulldozed 250 homes in the past two days in an eviction drive that resumed less than two weeks after two men were shot dead by the police amid violent protests.It’s saddening that there are no responses from the so-called secular parties against these atrocities.
