Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav asserted that no one is above the law, responding to Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra's criticism of 'bulldozer justice' in Chhatarpur district.
The issue escalated when Shahzad Ali's house was demolished after his alleged involvement in a violent protest against anti-Islam remarks by Ramgiri Maharaj. Stones were hurled, vehicles were damaged, and several policemen were injured.
Yadav defended the government's actions, emphasizing that construction must follow due approvals and that the administration could act accordingly. Meanwhile, Gandhi Vadra condemned the demolition as an unjust practice that bypasses legal processes.
