Press Note Mumbai,1st May AAP saves houses of Bharat Nagar families, foils illegal demolition The AAP came to the rescue of many families of Bharat Nagar by saving their houses from being demolished. The AAP strongly protested the illegal demolishing act and in the process had to face the wrath of the police authorities. The BKC, Bandra police was ruthless on AAP volunteers &more than 20 volunteers were detained along with Phiroze Palkhivala, Meera H Sanyal and AAP Mumbai Treasurer Mr. Suresh Aacharya when they protested against the arbitrary execution of demolition. The illegal demolition was timely opposed by AAP leader Anjali Damania, Mayank Gandhi, Phiroze Palkhivala and 300 odd AAP volunteers. On 29.04.2014, Mr. Sudhir Patil, the Executive Engineer of MHADA had on the basis of an order in HPC dated 2.7.2013 attempted to demolish the tenaments of 14 tenants and residents of NavjeevanRahevasi Co-op Housing Society (NRCHS). When, on intervention by Advocate Mr. Phiroze Palkhiwala, AAP Maharashtra State Convenor Anjali Damania and other AAP volunteers, the facts of the case were brought to their notice on 29/04/2014, the demolition was temporarily stalled only to restart it later on 30/04/2014. This act of Mr. Sudhir Patil was in absolute disregard of the Supreme Court Order dated 13.1.2014 which had directed the Hon’ble Bombay High Court to dispose of the petition filed by HDIL pending before it, within a period of 6 months from the date of the said order. While the subject matter of the dispute (the 14 tenaments) is still pending before the Honble High Court .i.e. subjudiced, Mr. Patil became an embodiment of law in total disregard of Honble Supreme Courts directives. Also came to the knowledge of the AAP team was that ACP Sankhe who was responsible to give protection to MHADA indulged in ill-treating, abusing, and outraging the modesty of women whose houses were being vacated for the purpose of demolition. AAP is committed to take the issue to its logical end. Thanks, AAP Media Cell
