Not about them, it's about us.

"Authorities riding bulldozers have razed buildings or house extensions built 'illegally' in neighborhoods that recorded communal clashes recently in Delhi, Madhya Pradesh (MP) and Gujarat, raising questions as critics called these demolition drives a move to 'bulldoze' a particular community," ET. Uttar Pradesh (UP) Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath revels in his sobriquet "Bulldozer Baba" because his government has been demolishing houses of alleged criminals since they may have been constructed with proceeds of crime, ET. It is irrelevant to supporters that children, who are entirely innocent, may have been rendered homeless. In Delhi, "Tears, pain and a sense of helplessness were seen on the faces of people who had shops in Jahangirpuri," as shops were demolished and "many people lost their source of income", TOI. North Delhi Municipal Corporation claimed that these shops encroached on public land and had demolition been planned a week previously, TOI. It is significant that UP, MP, Gujarat and all 3 municipal corporations in Delhi are run by the BJP, wikpedia. So brazen are the officials that, "The BJP administered North Delhi Municipal Corporation...demolished several buildings in Jahangirpuri, which saw communal violence a few days ago, despite Supreme Court order. Following urgent pleas, SC had ordered a stay on demolitions until it examined the legality of NDMC's claim that the structures were illegal encroachment. However, NDMC continued for over an hour after the court order," ET. Residents questioned why demolitions were being carried out now when they had been there for years, TOI. And, why selective? "Mobile shop owner Javed wondered why they were targeted when encroachments were rife in the city." Exactly. Especially when Prime Minister Narendra Modi, no less, boasted to have conferred "ownership rights to four million residents of unauthorised colonies", HT. 'Unauthorised' means constructions on illegally occupied acres of public land. A Public Interest Litigation (PIL) against arbitrary demolitions was dismissed by MP High Court because "the PIL doesn't concern any larger public interest". Extraordinary that the court does not feel it is in "larger public interest" to restrain vindictive tyrannical behavior by public servants. "Section 322 (of DMC Act) empowers the MCD Commissioner to remove any encroachment and any article being hawked on public streets without notice," HT. In the case of MC Mehta (2006), the Supreme Court "highlighted that such illegalities could not have happened without active connivance of MCD officials," and was due to "extraneous considerations". Meaning bribes. "There is a visible surge in the hard right among Muslims in India," wrote Rajiv Tuli of the RSS. "They are well supported by the entrenched 'intellectuals and any Leftist who magnify any incident from a majority-minority perspective." It is not just minorities. This is a start. If not restrained now they will come for Hindus. Who will speak for us then?
