Sambhal, 15 Aug (HS): On Friday,

Samajwadi Party MP from Sambhal Zia Ur Rehman Barq criticized the government's

bulldozer policy, claiming that it is destroying our rights in addition to

demolishing houses and stores. The MP,

who was interacting with journalists here, also expressed worry regarding the

removal of votes during Bihar's election record revision. The Sambhal district has removed many

encroached sites in recent months by bulldozing what officials claim are

unlawful constructions.

In response to a query concerning the ongoing demolition operations, the MP

stated, The bulldozer action is not only on houses and shops; it is

running on our rights. Bulldozers are destroying our liberties.”

It is unfortunate that our country's

three pillars—legislature, executive, and judiciary—are now represented by a

single power. He emphasized that the authority to punish belongs to the court

rather than the administration, and that the Supreme Court has frequently

called for a stop to such measures. The MP raised concerns over Bihar's voter

list alteration. If 65 lakh votes are

removed from Bihar, this equates to around 30,000 votes per seat from the

state's 243 seats. The winning margin for an assembly seat will then range

between 2,000 and 10,000. We want

democracy and the Constitution to be implemented throughout the country,

including Bihar, and the government to be chosen based on the rights of the

people, he stated.
