Congress Criticizes BJP's Bulldozer Demolitions After Khargone Court Acquittals
Following the 2022 Ram Navami violence in Khargone, a Madhya Pradesh court acquitted 11 Muslim men due to lack of evidence. Congress criticized the BJP for conducting bulldozer demolitions targeting Muslim homes and businesses shortly after the violence, calling it an insult to the Constitution and rule of law. Congress demanded compensation for those affected and accountability for officials involved. BJP's use of bulldozer action has been described as arbitrary and disproportionately impacting Muslim communities in BJP-ruled states.
