Gujarat home minister brags about demolishing 108 shrines

New Delhi: Harsh Sanghvi, the Home Minister of the Indian state of Gujarat has bragged about demolishing over 100 shrines in the state making claims in the assembly that chief minister Bhupendra Patel was sending a bulldozer across the state to deal with such structures.

According to Kashmir Media Service, Harsh Sanghvi addressing the assembly session said that the “sudden” appearances of mazars (shrines) was a “conspiracy. “In Uparkot, it was not known where (and when) all mazars were built. How can it be built suddenly?” he claimed.

“In all, 108 mazars have been demolished (in the state) and the state’s properties have been opened… The encroachment around Somnath has been removed. This bulldozer of Dada can enter a 20-ft wide street and an 80-m wide road,” he continued.

“Today, the point mentioned by Amitbhai [the BJP MLA from Ellisbridge]… He said that a derasar was removed in Jamalpur. Now, Dada’s [Bhupendra Patel’s] bulldozer is moving around in every nook and corner of the state so that no temple or devsthan can be removed while hatching a conspiracy. Nobody knows where will it [the bulldozer] go,” he said.

Reportedly in the past Sanghavi and Patel have shown eagerness to raze Muslim structures – while seemingly ignoring Hindu ones in the state.
