The National Commission for Minorities would not interfere with the demolitions in Delhi, its Chairperson Iqbal Singh Lalpura said at a press conference.
Mr. Lalpura stated that the Commission would not interfere in the due process of law. “Demolitions is a process to create a new thing and to improve the existing infrastructure by removing illegal encroachment. We can’t support any illegal acts,” he observed. But he noted that the Indian law did not use demolition as a punishment.
He was answering a question on anticipated demolition drive in several parts of south Delhi, including Shaheen Bagh, which was the site of anti-Citizenship (Amendment) Act protests.
