Indian Union Muslim League (IUML) leader P K Kunhalikutty stated that Bengaluru's recent demolitions are not comparable to actions in Uttar Pradesh, as the Karnataka drive impacted multiple communities and assurances of rehabilitation have been given. He criticized attempts to politicize the issue, especially given the Congress government's presence. This follows Kerala CM Pinarayi Vijayan's condemnation of demolitions reportedly affecting Muslims, calling them disturbing.
