Over 45 Houses of Slum Area Demolished on PM Modi Orders

GUJRAT: The extremist Hindu Prime Minister Modi on Tuesday has demolished over 45 hoses in Gujrat to hide poverty in his country before the arrival of US president.

The action, taken with police involvement yet seemingly on no official orders, has left hundreds homeless – either forced to share the limited space in those huts that are still standing or else sleep on the streets.

And while the city authority is framing the incident as the actions of a rogue middle-ranking official, it has been welcomed by the local branch of Modi’s ruling BJP party, which called it “the right decision”.

The incident began last Sunday when men in JCB bulldozers, flanked by plainclothes police officers, descended on the 600-home informal settlement of Kariyammana Agrahara, to the east of the city.
