Congress slams 'bulldozer justice' against accused
Congress leaders reacted sharply to the demolition of Shahzad Ali's residence in the Chhatarpur district of Madhya Pradesh. ali was charged with using violence on wednesday during a demonstration. "If someone is accused of a crime, only the court has the authority to determine the crime and the appropriate punishment," priyanka gandhi Vadra stated. However, it is not fair to punish the accused's family as soon as the allegation is made, to take away their roof, to break the law, to defy the court, or to demolish the accused's house right immediately. This is the pinnacle of injustice and savagery."
Priyanka Gandhi Vadra declared, "Bulldozer justice is totally unacceptable, it must stop."
Congress President mallikarjun Kharge had similar views, calling the destruction "inhumane and unjust."
He voiced alarm over the "repeated targeting of minorities in BJP-ruled states," stating that such behavior is unacceptable in a legalistic society.
In addition, he stated that "offenses must be adjudicated in courts, not through state-sponsored coercion," warning that anarchy cannot replace natural justice.
