Jahangirpuri demolition: Where is the Opposition?

India TV News  

Highlights Nine bulldozers rallied in to demolish the illegally encroached areas Left leader Brinda Karat stood in front of one of the bulldozers The drive was later stopped after SC ordered to stop the demolition Wednesday morning was not like a normal day for many residing in the Jahangirpuri area of the national capital. Reason: Govt's anti-encroachment drive The bulldozers demolished several structures at Jahangirpuri amid a heavy paramilitary and police presence during the NDMC's anti-encroachment drive that was stopped within hours following a Supreme Court order. It has been more than 10 hours since the demolition took place, why hasn't Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal or any of his Cabinet minister not visited that place? As senior leaders from various political parties watched on, the 74-year-old Left leader, Brinda Karat, dared to stand in front of one of the bulldozers — that razed several shops — in an attempt to stop the demolition.
