Removing illegal mosque can create riots in Delhi, same DDA easily demolish temples everywhere in Delhi without riots.
Quote:Tension prevailed in Jungpura area in southeast Delhi on Wednesday following demolition of an ââ¬Ëillegalââ¬â¢ religious structure by the Delhi Development Authority (DDA) which claimed the structure was built on its land. The demolition drive went off peacefully till afternoon but hurdles cropped up due to protests by locals who pelted stones on the Nizamuddin police station and blocked the busy Mathura Road for long.
By evening, religious leaders and some politicians headed to the spot and addressed the protesters which added fuel to the fire. Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit convened a review meeting with the concerned officials on Wednesday night to assess the law and order situation. As a precautionary measure, the police barricaded the area and restricted traffic movement on both carriageways from Ashram Chowk to Neela Gumbad. This led to a massive traffic snarl in the area and the congestion stretched to Ring Road where the traffic was diverted.
