UP News: Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) chief Mayawati has recently questioned the bulldozer action and said that it is not in accordance with the law. She said that the family members of criminal elements should not be punished for the action taken against them and action should also be taken against those officers who are not able to ensure justice.Mayawati tweeted on Tuesday, "Action against criminal elements in the country should be taken under the law. Their family should not be punished for their crime. Our party has proved this by establishing 'rule of law by law'." She also said that the use of bulldozers should be according to the decision of the Supreme Court and it would be appropriate that it does not have to be used at all, because criminal elements can be dealt with under strict laws. Also, instead of taking action against their families, strict action should be taken against those officers who are not able to provide proper justice.Meanwhile, Union Minister Anupriya Patel has also raised questions on the bulldozer action. Expressing concern over the reasoning of the Supreme Court, she said that demolishing the properties of the accused is a violation of the rules. The Supreme Court has decided to continue hearing the case on September 17 and has talked about issuing guidelines on the practice of "bulldozer justice". Under this practice, the properties of persons involved in criminal activities are demolished, which has been a matter of significant controversy.Action should also be taken against officialsHe said, 'Bulldozers should also be used as per the decision of the Supreme Court. However, it would be appropriate that there is no need to use it because criminal elements can also be dealt with under strict laws, while instead of using bulldozers on the family and close ones of criminal elements, strict action should be taken against the concerned officials, who, in collusion with such elements, do not give proper justice to the victims. All governments must pay attention to this.'Supreme Court will issue guidelines on bulldozer actionAt the same time, Union Minister Anupriya Patel, who is part of the NDA government, has also raised questions on bulldozer action. She said that the Supreme Court's statement that how can a bulldozer be run only if there is an accused. What is wrong in saying this by the Supreme Court. In fact, while hearing the bulldozer action case, the apex court has said that the property of an accused or suspect or even a convict cannot be demolished. We will issue guidelines in this regard. Obviously this is a violation of the rules.The Supreme Court will continue hearing the case on September 17. The apex court is considering several cases related to the practice of bulldozer action to demolish alleged properties linked to persons involved in criminal activities. Often called "bulldozer justice", it has also been a subject of significant controversy.
