How Supreme court can stop bulldozers
- Modi expressed concerns about the increasing use of bulldozers to demolish illegal structures during the general election campaign.
- He warned that if Congress and Samajwadi Party gained power, they might target significant sites like the Ayodhya temple.
- The indiscriminate use of bulldozers poses a risk to culturally important buildings, necessitating a reevaluation of demolition laws.
The increasing use of bulldozers for demolishing structures deemed illegal has raised significant concerns about the potential for misuse. During the general election campaign, Modi highlighted the risks associated with this trend, suggesting that if the Congress and Samajwadi Party were to form the government, they would target the Ayodhya temple for demolition. This statement reflects a broader anxiety regarding the indiscriminate nature of bulldozers, which do not differentiate between structures. The fear is that unchecked usage could lead to the destruction of historically and culturally significant sites, such as the Taj Mahal or buildings in Central Vista, New Delhi. The implications of this trend are profound, as it raises questions about the preservation of heritage and the rule of law in the face of political maneuvering. The situation calls for a careful examination of the legal frameworks governing demolition practices to prevent potential abuses and ensure that such actions are justified and proportionate.
