In this episode of Checks and Balances, Saahil Murli Menghani speaks about the legality and morality of the government demolishing houses as a way to inflict punishment on whom the BJP calls “rioters”. What started in Khargone in Madhya Pradesh has now made its way to Jahangirpuri in Delhi.
Menghani speaks to Khargone district magistrate Anugraha and Supreme Court advocate Shadan Farasat to understand the basis on which the buildings of people in violence-hit areas were recently demolished by the authorities.
