Editorial with Sujit Nair: The Bulldozer Raj

After the massive violence reported in Khargone on the occasion of Ram navami on Sunday, Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan had taken a stern stand on the violence during the Ram navami procession in which stone-pelting took place, houses were set on fire and shots were fired. Khargone Superintendent of Police Siddharth Chaudhary too was injured after being hit by a bullet in the leg. The procession was also attended by BJP leader from New Delhi Kapil Mishra. On Monday, the administration demolished illegal houses and shops of a particular community member who is accused of stone-pelting and hurling petrol bombs at the procession. Divisional Commissioner Pavan Sharma said that a demolition drive was undertaken at 50 places and 84 persons have been arrested by the police in connection to the violence.
