‘Country will be run by Baba Saheb’s Constitution, not by whip of power’, says Rahul Gandhi, welcomes SC remarks on ‘Bulldozer Policy’

“The bulldozer, which is being run to establish the ‘rule of fear’ under the guise of ‘instant justice’ often targets the households of the Bahujans and the poor,” he wrote, expressing hope that the Supreme Court will provide clear guidelines to protect citizens from what he termed the BJP’s “anti-democracy campaign.”

Gandhi said, “We expect that the Supreme Court will issue clear guidelines on this very sensitive issue and protect the citizens from this anti-democracy campaign of the BJP governments.”

“The country will be run by Baba Saheb’s Constitution, not by the whip of power,” he said.

The Supreme Court, in its remarks, questioned the legality of demolishing homes solely based on accusations, with Justices B R Gavai and K V Viswanathan saying, “How can anybody’s house be demolished only because he is an accused? Even if he is a convict, still it can’t be done without following the procedure as prescribed by law.”

भाजपा की असंवैधानिक और अन्यायपूर्ण ‘बुलडोज़र नीति’ पर सर्वोच्च न्यायालय की टिप्पणी स्वागत योग्य है।

बुलडोज़र के नीचे मानवता और इंसाफ को कुचलने वाली भाजपा का संविधान विरोधी चेहरा अब देश के सामने बेनक़ाब हो चुका है।

“Can anybody’s house be demolished only because he is an accused. Even if he is a convict, still it (demolition) can’t be done without following the procedure as prescribed by law. We propose to lay down certain guidelines on a pan-India basis so that the concern with regard to the issues raised is taken care of,” the apex court said.
