Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav on Saturday said nobody is above the law and that the government is acting as per Constitutional norms after Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra questioned ‘bulldozer justice’ in Chhatarpur district.
The Congress targeted the MP government after the house of one Shahzad Ali was demolished on Thursday for his alleged involvement in a protest called by the Muslim community against the purported anti-Islam remarks made by Ramgiri Maharaj on Wednesday. A mob had hurled stones and damaged vehicles, leaving several policemen injured.
“All I have to say is that no person is above the law. There is the rule of law. The government is taking action under the Constitutional provisions against those who break the law,” Yadav told reporters when asked about Vadra’s post.
He appeared to justify the administration’s action if legitimate approval was not taken for construction.
“Construction work should be done after taking due approval. If you don’t take necessary approval for construction activity and if you become synonymous with terror in various ways, then the administration is also free to do its job. In such a scenario, they (the administration) will do what is needed,” Yadav added.
