Indian Muslims hail top court's ruling on home demolitions

India's top court declared on Wednesday that it would be "totally unconstitutional" to demolish a citizen's home simply because he is an accused or even a convicted person, especially without following the legal due process. The court also imposed a nationwide prohibition on "bulldozer justice." On Thursday, most opposition parties in India welcomed the top court's verdict. They linked the bulldozer action to the oppression perpetrated by the ruling BJP on Muslims, saying that "now the oppression of minorities will stop."
