A court-ordered demolition of illegal structures near Delhi's Faiz-e-Ilahi mosque led to violence, injuring five police officers. Delhi Home Minister Ashish Sood stated the mosque is safe and the action targeted only illegal commercial establishments as per court orders, denying any mala fide intent. Opposition leaders, including AAP MLA Aaley Mohammad Iqbal, criticized the demolition as selectively targeting a specific community and questioned the timing, suggesting it was done at midnight to prevent a stay order. Kerala CM Pinarayi Vijayan condemned the demolition as executing the 'divisive ideology of the Sangh Parivar'.
