'Bulldozer justice completely unacceptable'

New Delhi, NT Bureau: The Congress on Saturday said "repeated targeting" of minorities in BJP-ruled states is deeply troubling and asserted that 'bulldozer justice' is completely unacceptable and must stop.

The opposition party's assertion comes after the house of a man who allegedly indulged in violence in Madhya Pradesh's Chhatarpur district during a protest was demolished.

"The house of Shahzad Ali under Kotwali police station limits was demolished. We had registered a case against 150 people for the violence on Wednesday. We had named 46 people," an official had said.

Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge said demolishing someone's home and rendering their family homeless is both inhumane and unjust.

"Anarchy cannot replace natural justice - offences must be adjudicated in courts, not through state-sponsored coercion," he said.
