Chandigarh April 27, 2012. Mr. Satya Pal Jain, Ex-City MP and National Incharge of the Legal & Legislative Cell of the BJP has criticized the demolition drive carried out by the Congress(I) ruled local administration in Village Attawa yesterday.
In a statement issued here today, Mr. Jain said that only a few days back the Union Parliamentary Affairs Minister, while addressing a public meeting in Dadua, had said that his Government will not allow the demolition of any house or shop in Chandigarh. ‘Will be now tell the people as to who else’s government has carried out this demolition?’, Mr. Jain said. He said that, interestingly, whenever the minister says that no demolition will be carried out, as a matter of fact, the demolitions are intensified by his own officers.
Mr. Jain said that the demolition of houses, religious places, shops etc. which have taken place in Chandigarh during the Congress(I) rule of last 8 years is unprecedented and the highest in any of the regimes earlier, which exposes the double-speak of the ruling Congress(I) leaders.
Mr. Jain said that the policy of demolition of houses etc. should be stopped and no body’s place of residence or place of his livelihood be taken without providing with an alternative place.
