Lucknow: A fresh bulldozer action has once again drawn attention after authorities demolished structures on over 18 bighas of land belonging to the Muslim community in BJP-ruled Uttar Pradesh.<\/p>\n

According to Kashmir Media Service, the action was carried out against plots associated with Wasi Ahmed and Ehsan Ali of the Muslim community in the Khairabad area of Sitapur district. The BJP administration continued its anti-Muslim actions, snatching the land while claiming it was developed without proper approval and in violation of rules.<\/p>\n

Using bulldozers, the demolition took place with a heavy police force deployed at the site. The action has raised concern among residents, especially within the Muslim community, who feel such demolitions are noticed more when Muslim names are involved.<\/p>\n

A resident, requesting anonymity, said, \u201cWe are not against action if something is illegal, but the law should be equal for everyone. There is a feeling that such actions are more visible when Muslims are involved.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another resident said, \u201cPeople invest their life savings in land. Muslims are being targeted without issuing notice and proper time being given so that they can respond.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
