I know how laws work They cannot do this without any prior notice BJP leaders are lying Maken said calling the demolition an attack on the poor and their livelihoodThey briefly sat on the road in protest after being prevented from visiting the residents In the Supreme Court senior advocate Dushyant Dave appearing for Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind said the matter raised far-reaching questions of constitutional and national importance Dave alleged bulldozers were being used to target just one community after riots This is not confined to Jahangirpuri and affects the social fabric of the country If we allow this there will be no rule of law or democracy left he said Dave submitted there are 731 unauthorised colonies in Delhi with 50 lakh people residing If you want to act against

General Tushar Mehta noted the anti-encroachment drive in Jahangirpuri had begun in January this year This is what happens when an organisation Jamiat comes here suddenly I will show you instances when notice is not required and illegal structures were given notice Traders had moved high court last year and the high court had itself ordered demolition Mehta contended Chaotic scenes had unfolded in Jahangirpuri on Wednesday when roadside stalls and shops allegedly built on public land were pulled down by the NDMC in the presence of huge contingents of police and paramilitary triggering
