there any legal justification for the demolishing of these homes owned by muslims? and so you have to look at this in context of what's been happening in the country for the last couple of months. forget it. but just in the last couple of months there has been a act on of this exact same thing happening. one after the other in b b who is there is some violent sport between 2 community is all there is some sort of a small scale diet and or a class. and the very next day, or the d osgood, orbit of who's lim homes is, are demolished. and the justification given on the one hand and also says that this is irene. funny storm because of those sleeping violence in society and on the other. and they're also given legal justification saying the normal even house is, it is a bizarre coincidence, and it's not lost on anyone why these dimensions. i think he just days after the

while ends on why those accused of st widens, are daily being punished in this space. i would like to do it then. none of these people have been convicted of any kind. they have not dead very if you have, even if i filed against them. so purely on the basis of accusations levied by this, the police said how his are being dealt with. and many of them, in fact, the whole there was demolished in allow by now one is they are that i was a young activist for laughing man, her father, jolly woman, both of them and activist them with all the government. they have been sort of yes . now, and so when this is, i didn't really say this all night the, this to the agreed that i knew this was put on their house after again, pm and saturday night and sunday afternoon, their house was being released. they weren't giving it even legally. there is so much discrepancy because they weren't giving enough and even so on. and when the

something like this happens of most of the day, he doesn't think that it is. but you're also sending out the message to all the mountains of north the country, that if you pick up too loudly against the coming your house, the one place you're supposed to feel secure in the, of the demolish. and these to the now as is, let me get your perspective on this because you heard fatima there talk about some of these cases of, of well known activists who have had their houses demolish activists like momma java who she mentioned in her answer in. and you know, there are hindu nationalist, politicians who are known for their sectarian rhetoric against the countries. muslim minority. they have been calling on authorities to demolish the homes of people accused of crimes. does that not violate constitutional laws that ban collective punishment? she is, whereas i know there is a good spending with the law about high road and that is that this bulldozers were

being run on the active list. you call it dues. the police and very musician called them to writers because the read back in yogurt test is simultaneous. a really foreign and didn't go to what appeared to stoning at various places in various states. so. busy the fact there is that the court is to go on. it asked for the fact that these people had the wrong end of the stick and administration of the states punish them. it is also a fact that these notices of illegal construction was given back in may at using the case of how much i'll be, who is in the center of everyone's attention. because his daughter, she was also involved in the protest in january the university pick up with a few years back. so there has been a history of them speaking on issues where the government has no leg

citizenship amendment act and this present. so all said, all that being said, they do the fact that these activists have a history of disturbing law and order at different places in the country. and there is also a history that these houses what given this is a month back, it is not even though that notice was blasted on me on my job is house on the 11th of june and demolish and begin the authorities to justification is that he hadn't been applying to cds on may's cds off marcus's. and the last, this is did say that if you don't do it, it will be done on so that being the obedience just the prejudices. the fact is that they have gone to the end of the district that just had we done and they had a few of us, but those are muslims. the board would take it all into what has been, what?

because remember, in jobs, we did a similar militia and i was on, according to stop, the government contracts for them. i see that you want to jump in. i just want to go to, to see 1st to get a legal perspective on this policy. we have heard from, from many in india, from shows who have said that these demolitions are being done because of illegal construction. and we have heard from many activists who have said that these demolitions are being done because it is a crackdown on descent and activism. from your perspective, are these, when these homes are being demolished, is that actually legal? thank you for the question. i believe the law is concerned, no not meant a demolition without sufficient. notice. secondly, laws do not permit an action, not taking revenge by the state in this manners, well bodily in response to certain talk to which were made by the by the members of

muslim communities of these 2 aspect. i think of extremely important to note. we are indeed still a democracy and that is the right to peaceful practice. the guarantees under the constitution on the dogs leave the right to life. that is a space for descent in the country. you can criticize the government. you can disagree with the government. and every time you disagree with the government, the way the government is react to it. but just do you think it's police power to and took an i few to provoke you and just go what were those you know home then i would think that is becoming much less of a democracy than it ever was. and that does, that is the largest problem that we are facing on the long. it's in fact completely active typical to the constitutional value. because of the legislation which are in place which provide for you process. do you notice the right to hearing and, but i feel for the rights which are part and parcel of the principles of justice.

now must have been complied in most of these cases, radius people whose houses have been already demolished, do not know on what account has happened on the basis of which particular talk this on the basis of which political participation on why they have this action been taken by the state. so you can see that there is an absolute darkness as far as the allegations are concerned. and the cause that is imposed on the people who are as yet not convict, but only accused of that enough. and that is quite large potentially. they have been just rendered homeless in a country in the country that is not doing so well on welfare, to begin with. and over night gender and being rendered homeless for actions whom you do not have any clue. what do you have exactly done is, is to try to be of the day. and i think that global leaders as well as somebody

need to take note of what is happening, which is a team these katie and try to me for a good muslim of ultimate let me get back to you and i know you wanted to respond to what she was saying, so please go ahead, get a couple of things ready with the one. i mean, do you end up being younger? she's 19 years old. she's been living in nice when it was a gift from mcdonald grandfather to mother. and she does me that for the last, when be the family has been being ordered that says how that what that all is is in the mother's name. so one, it's the father who's been accused of the 8th, the mother who was the how to that is that is your, the group is you know what? one, if it is the one that was the why she is the father has actually one. but 2nd, b is for the sake of argument. if it isn't any good how,

why has establishment? why does that administration be next step? think all of the house that says all the bills for the state. why would this be never considered unpaid month before in all these? doing the code ok for the sake of argument. let's see. even how did get well in a line. so then you are saying that this house has been demoted, but the you just be good on your pen and people don't put it up in the police. why? and whether she gave bikes to the media, being that, or you know, these people live in people. and in that i, to which one is it, is it that, that how does the morning because this is going on? is it because that because the mean if you bring in that and the minute you start seeing that or no, you know what these people give, if you don't the wife and you are actively seeing that you, that this is rendered by the state against the doesn't this is chase altitude i,

i'd like you to do. in fact, even is that i, when it goes ahead and want to bite that if it doesn't do this demolition of how this against it's all to do. and it's been an estimate to be who this is even what this is, the state of being rental against it or the citizens will not be used in plastic. isn't actually how you raising your hand or you want to jump in. go ahead. yeah, i don't want to jump in. i just want if you just want to make if you verification, i mean why we are creating the charges against them on much. i'll be with eagle construction that was being diminished. but 1st of all, the house hasn't been demolished, the front of the house or part of it has to. it would be interesting. it then could be 2 completely separate diesel as there is an issue of the legal construction which has been pursued for over a month. and there is an activity which happened if you it is back for which more

much of it was said to be the master. might not. she says, i respect her opinion as you must have it somewhere where she says that the willis sir actually sent that door. these people who are behind it and that's why it's being done. the police had know who to blame. it will is only bent as a protection to the other, teased the local authorities, but the flow, the broad roger development authority he did was job is to see that encroachments and the legal constructions not destroy, not began john. he can not linger, we can dana elected lot and see that this has happened because of because these people were held responsible for a terrible royce during below a storm touring and warriors which happened and viagra is. ringback number of jasmine were injured soon and so, so i'm that these are 2 separate issues, but in case we want to see, let the court decide whether it was done within budget is, or there were 2 separate issues. mature,

as luck would have it happen alongside fillasy. and this week there was a letter that was sent to the chief justice of india supreme court. there are 6 prominent former judges, and there are 6 senior lawyers who are saying that the government in utah pradesh state had acted illegally by demolishing the house of a muslim activist following the protest. i want to ask you 1st, how significant is it that this letter is, is being sent? and i also want to ask you, you know, in your opinion, could, did you dish or in india have done more to, to stop at these evictions. to stop the demolishing of these homes has the judiciary been passive when it comes to allowing anti muslim policies to keep going on? the very important question and i think we should 1st look at the context in which you should like to some operates in india. so it is important to know what that coats in india, in particular the supreme court, if it next really interventionist and an activist court,

it does not the original code. it does not death for decisions to basically get as much as the courts do in the u. k or in germany or maybe european countries. so the context in which we're talking about that we have a very active betty keegan, judicially. and if you look at how the dish is reacting to something which i would describe as, as the, from the mental political crisis and contemplating india. i would think that as a lawyer, i'm not quite optimistic about the course intervention code since 2014, especially the supreme court has been extremely deferential towards the federal government. it has to be adopting several tactics not to hear the case against the diamond and not to sort of make those remarks against the government in the fetus of cases. and but how be instances where that happened that had been substantial rights violations and the government was supposedly the culprit and the court of you to have

a clear look at that. so this is the context in which we're talking about 2014, in which we should assess whether we should, you know, we should keep some, some optimism. we should keep some holes in favor of the court. and i would think no, considering a see this judgement which has come from the court in the past. yes. if you look at radius judgements, we will see that the court has been quiet, active in declaring aspects about civil liberty. for example, we have the judgement which said that adultery is no longer criminal offense. we have the judgement in the page which said that the penal promotion, which prohibited unnatural text as the god, it's constitutional. but they have come to concrete political issues. but the central government east and not necessarily the trips, the courts have been quite hesitant to interfere,

so i would not keep any cd up to them on the supreme court or on any of the courts in this political juncture. for them, i just want to take a step back for a moment and ask you of a broader question. that question is in, in your perspective, from your perspective, what does growing religious intolerance mean for the future of india? i mean, then the la la la daisy oh hesitated, descended into the absolute nation that most of the name is betty, on the economy. but at the same time and john lifted adults with you, susan, being in the out. this is, this is one of many issues. it isn't just discrimination or did by this dave, in a lot of cases it is done by that for navia. and what effective you mean? is that muslim thinking that isn't and in effect they feel

like they don't even belong in that country. the country that beach or the country that the or, or during the part 947, they did not move on and the, and to the 75. you know, when things like these happen monday, there won't be long old base. it will be to the ben hill job waiting guys g into their food and qualities. if i'm not the god of been thinking and the place been men, i've had asked that that would be more effectively. all of these things little by the makes you less and less in the state of the country, especially than what i can tell you. the number in the last 5 years who have less discovery or thinking of leaving this country. because that's how difficult it has become to survive. and hopefully you've as dignified with it, isn't i? she will have a couple of minutes left. there have been protests that have been held in several

cities against 2 former officials of the b, j. p. they had made remarks about the profit and how much many considered offensive prime minister modi has so far, not commented on the controversy over these remarks. why has he not said anything, especially at a time when there is so much criticism of the government stance? i get you. what is the difference you know about noble sharma who was dismissed and said to be a fringe element by the v g p. this letter wouldn't have been dropped at the bottom . it's just because is there a petition in the middle east in the book is quite high on it has struck already across the spectrum. the it is right and saw yet when you haven't gone along with your big. so i say that though, when you say that there be other people who have made remarks against the profit, i'm motivated, i've seen being not aware of it if you are seeing. so it must be because more the,

at this juncture would not like to do whatever he has done in the last 8 years. whatever it is, your schemes have been initiated and they have been many because the region does gone enormously in the years. and they have not been to have discrimination very. those are what you're going to spend has been one particular issue has to be in to have come to power and 15 in the form of the g, b in 2014. and this size of hindu ism definitely kind of trouble because it isn't a new thing. and i didn't years of minorities like muslim people, i just read natural anxious. and then this, even none of that, i'm really that is intensified and whenever a small mob in one point g, b in people is made, it is made up that the nation is against muslims at the wrong level. i stacy,

be along the way, but there is an attempt to say that india is posting in flames. i think it is legal . what the my, because a lot, but also said about the getting the sipes. and you see you see the it's a automated game on huntington idea to put a 0 of all said the mustard game to done so. storms and stopped bringing people in cars and policemen. and so that also is a concern for the neutral citizen because he's he knows that the profits mock boss made by a b p function. he was dismissed oshkosh or has been initiative. i'm sorry to interrupt you, but we have run out of time. so we're going to have to leave the conversation there . thanks so much. all of our guests fatima, con to us he, raj, and osh ish shook la, and thank you for watching. you can see the program again any time by visiting our website al jazeera dot com, and for further discussion, go to our facebook page. that's facebook dot com, forward slash ha inside story. you can also join the conversation on twitter or
