Taking a dig at the BJP, Congress MP Karti Chidambaram on Monday expressed surprise that the ruling party had put up “only barricades and police” towards the Congress office before Rahul Gandhi’s appearance before the ED, while the bulldozers were “missing”.

Karti Chidambaram said that bulldozers may have been used to destroy the lives and homes of citizens of minority religion.

Ahead of the proposed march by Congress leaders, Delhi Police on Monday imposed Section 144 CrPC in the vicinity of the party headquarters on Akbar Road here and asked them not to violate the law.

The ED has summoned Rahul Gandhi in the money laundering case related to the National Herald-AJL case. The ED has also summoned Sonia Gandhi in this case on 23 June.

“Surprised that @BJP4India only put up barricades & police leading to @INCIndia office, #bulldozers are missing!” Karti Chidambaram said in a tweet.

“Everyone seems to have been asked to demolish the lives and homes of citizens of minority religion,” the Lok Sabha MP said.

His comment comes a day after Prayagraj Development Authority (PDA) demolished the house of the alleged mastermind In the violence of June 10 in Prayagraj amid heavy police deployment.

According to an agency official, the building map of the house of accused Javed Ahmed was not approved by the PDA.

The development in Prayagraj came a day after illegal properties of two persons accused of rioting were blown up in a bulldozer in Saharanpur, leading to stone pelting on Friday.

Protests were held in Prayagraj and some other parts of Uttar Pradesh on June 10 against the controversial remarks made by the now suspended BJP spokesperson Nupur Sharma on Prophet Mohammad.
