Bulldozers roll in UP's Prayagraj and Saharanpur, opposition calls it 'UNFAIR'

The Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind on Monday approached the Supreme Court seeking appropriate direction to the Uttar Pradesh government to ensure that no further demolitions are carried out without following due process of law, against the backdrop of the ongoing row over comments on the Prophet and subsequent demolition drives.

The application, filed through advocates Kabir Dixit and Sarim Naved, on behalf of Jamiat Ulama-I-Hind, sought directions to initiate action against those officials concerned responsible for the houses allegedly demolished in violation of the rule of law and the municipal laws enacted by the state.
