"Limits Of Injustice Crossed": Shivraj Chouhan Joins Protests Against Tribal Home Demolitions
Twelve tribal homes were demolished in a village in Madhya Pradesh that fell within Union minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan's parliamentary constituency.
On Sunday, Union agriculture minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan joined a protest in Kosmi village of Budhni assembly constituency in Madhya Pradesh against the demolition of houses. The villagers were protesting the action by the forest department and district administration. Chouhan expressed his strong disapproval of the demolition, calling it shameful and describing it as the height of injustice.
He stated that houses were once filled with children's laughter but were now filled with cries of despair as women wept over the destruction. Chouhan described the demolition team as heartless demons and compared them to villains. He informed Chief Secretary Ashok Barnwal and BJP state president Hemant Khandelwal about the incident.
Chouhan assured the affected villagers that he would raise the issue with Chief Minister Mohan Yadav and ensure justice for them. Temporary living arrangements would be made for the homeless villagers, and new houses would be constructed. However, neither the collector nor the superintendent of police had arrived in the village to meet Chouhan and the villagers as of the filing of the story.
