New Delhi, Aug. 4 -- Congress MP Jairam Ramesh on Tuesday criticised the BJP over the 2022 bulldozer action in Madhya Pradesh's Khargone, alleging that the demolitions were carried out before due legal process and demanding compensation for those whose properties were razed.

In a statement, he referred to the demolition drive carried out by the district administration following violence during a Ram Navami procession in Khargone in April 2022, alleging that 16 houses and 29 shops in five Muslim-majority localities were demolished.

The Congress also referred to a statement attributed to the then Madhya Pradesh Home Minister Narottam Mishra, who had said, "The house from which stones were thrown will be turned into a heap of stones."
