Senior Congress leader Hussain Dalwai criticized the decision to demolish the Garib Nagar slum in Bandra, Maharashtra. He said that it is unfortunate that the decision was taken to demolish the Garib Nagar slum in Bandra. Just look at its name. Poor people live here. Keeping this in mind, it was named Garib Basti.

Speaking to news agency IANS on Tuesday, he said that it is regrettable that the decision to demolish it was taken. But, I have a question whether it has been surveyed yet? Was any order issued by the court in this regard?

Overall, the matter ends here that neither the survey of this entire colony has been done till now nor any order has come from the court in this regard, so how can you decide to demolish it. Anyway, this entire matter is still under consideration in the court, so in such a situation it is not appropriate to take any decision on it.

The senior Congress leader said that all this is a conspiracy to harass poor Muslims. This government only favors Hindus and Muslims in every issue. Today, due to increase in the prices of petrol and diesel, inflation has reached its peak.

Because of this people are facing a lot of problems. But, it is regrettable that the government has not paid any attention to this. On the contrary, this government is trying to create a Hindu-Muslim like situation to divert the attention of the common people from the core issues.

He said that this government is not taking any action against the rich. I can tell you that many rich people have built houses in Worli ignoring the rules. He said that I would like to tell Kirit Somaiya that why are you committing this sin?

After all, where will you take this sin you are committing? Giving trouble to the poor is a big sin and breaking someone’s house is a big sin. Most of the people living here are laborers, who work at a wage of Rs 500.

On CM Yogi’s statement, he said that I do not like to offer Namaz on the road, Namaz can be offered in the mosque. Therefore, it is not appropriate to give too much importance to this topic. But, I have to say that most of the festivals here are celebrated on the streets.

The festival of Ganpati Baba is also celebrated on the road here. Early in the morning, bells are rung in temples and Azaan is also called in mosques. In such a situation, I would like to say that now they should not look at any issue from Hindu-Muslim perspective.

He further said that if everyone gets proper education and health facilities from the government, then I have full confidence that the population will be controlled. We should also look at the situation in Uttar Pradesh and Bihar once. Is the increase in population there happening because of Muslims?

This entire topic is to education. If you emphasize on education, then it is obvious that people will become aware and the population will come under control. You see the situation in South India, because people there are educated and aware.
No attention is being paid to how people will survive in this country. He also reacted on the encounter issue. He said that the way encounter cases are increasing, it is clearly evident that there is no law and order.
