In yet another bulldozer action against minorities’ religious places in BJP-ruled states, a dargah was demolished late Saturday night, March 9, in Gujarat’s Junagadh district, amid a heavy police deployment of over 1,000 personnel.
According to reports, a two-decade-old dargah near Majwadi Gate was demolished after being declared as illegal encroachment. A earlier attempt to demolish the dargah was made in June last year. However, following protests, the demolition was stopped.
