Demolition of Indian Muslim houses in the state of Assam by the government; 550 homes destroyed Social media activists posted videos showing a massive evacuation drive in which Indian authorities used bulldozers to demolish hundreds of homes and buildings in the northeastern Indian state of Assam on Sunday amid tight security. The videos show bulldozers and heavy machinery razing parts of high-rise buildings to the ground, while several residents stand by and watch as their homes are reduced to rubble. According to local reports, more than 550 houses were destroyed. The district commissioner announced that about 80 percent of the residents evacuated their homes and moved their belongings before the bulldozers arrived, due to receiving previous notifications. Inspector General of Police Akhilesh Kumar Singh also confirmed that the operation was carried out without registering any significant objection. These actions took place only one day after the publication of the "Indian Ulema Community" announcement in which this community expressed its deep concern about the continuation of the policy of demolishing houses with bulldozers and increasing the systematic discrimination of Muslims in the country. Maulana Mahmoud Madani, head of this community, condemned the efforts to marginalize Muslims and treat them as second-class citizens and demanded the necessity of protecting the legal rights of minorities.
