Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, TMC Chief Mamata Banerjee, and AAP leaders did not even utter the word "Muslims". Gandhi said, "Minority". Banerjee made no mention, AAP said "Bangladeshis and Rohingyas".

The association of 'unauthorized' with Jahangirpuri is misleading. in the context of Delhi. Jahangirpuri is in fact a resettlement colony - a space granted by the state to resettle its residents. The structural illegality here is what you'll find in all of planned Delhi (1/n)
Most of Delhi's built structure is in contravention of planning guidelines. Be it extension in DDA housing, or the taking over of footpaths for use of parking, or gating homes. This city is built through encroachment. (2/n) #JahagirpuriViolence
In #jahagirpuri, most residents and shop-owners will have documentation to support ownership. What is happening here is not the demolition of illegal structures, but state-sponsored violence, with clear ramifications for one community. (3/n)

Dear @HolocaustMuseum

I hope someone on the staff is documenting what is happening in India these days. It is literally the same playbook detailed in your museum, almost step by step. They are currently at the step where they demolish Muslim houses with official decree.
Lterally on this day, that's how closely they are following the Nazi road of a multi pronged attack of demonizing in media, sending "vigilante" mobs to attack, glibly justify mobs, police & courts stand by or join in, deportations, you know what's next.
