After Khargone in Madhya Pradesh, Jahangirpuri in Delhi has seen the use of demolition of shops and houses seemingly as a <strong>punitive (Inflicting punishment) <\/strong>measure in the wake of a riot that followed a <strong>provocative (Serving or tending to provoke, excite, or stimulate) <\/strong>religious procession. The Jahangirpuri demolitions, halted by an order of status quo passed by the Supreme Court, one which had to be <strong>reiterated (To state again) <\/strong>as the drive went on for more than an hour after the order, represent an <strong>egregious (outstandingly bad) <\/strong>violation of the rule of law. Even though described as part of a demolition process that had begun a few months ago, and done after prior notice, few would believe that the drive in Jahangirpuri had anything to do with \u2018encroachment\u2019, coming as it does in the wake of communal disturbances and in the middle of Ramzan. By intervening in time, the Court may have halted what could have been a series of demolitions of small businesses and households belonging to some of the poorest residents of the capital. CPI(M) leader Brinda Karat, who was present at the site, has highlighted the continuance of the demolition even after the court order was made known to the authorities. The Supreme Court should deal with this <strong>contumacious ( stubbornly disobedient) <\/strong>behaviour as part of the ongoing proceedings, in which its main concern, of course, ought to be to push back against the dangerously divisive and <strong>partisan (Devoted to a cause or party) <\/strong>manner in which authorities are responding to law and order issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are aspects to the controversy that betray an emerging pattern of the use of state machinery to inflict misery on Muslims. One is the role of the ruling BJP, whose Delhi chief wrote to the North Delhi Municipal Corporation to carry out the demolition targeting \u2018rioters\u2019 who had allegedly thrown stones at a Hindu religious procession in the vicinity of a mosque. As the counsel contended in the court, this wish seems to have been treated as a command, and police force mobilised within a day to carry it out. Another aspect is the attempt to <strong>conflate (Add together different elements) <\/strong>the legal consequences of rioting and communal violence with administrative measures to deal with encroachments in public spaces. The official line leans towards the theory of clearing encroachments even as the political message is that \u2018rioters\u2019 will be dealt with. It is of concern that the Aam Aadmi Party, which while blaming the BJP on the one hand, has also made an unsubtle <strong>insinuation (An indirect (and usually malicious) implication) <\/strong>that those <strong>fomenting (Try to stir up public opinion) <\/strong>trouble are \u2018Bangladeshis\u2019 and \u2018Rohingya\u2019, terms that will render the residents of the area vulnerable to denial of their rights. The most dismal aspect is the apparent enjoyment that the BJP\u2019s communal constituency derives from the infliction of suffering on the \u2018other\u2019. The challenge before the country\u2019s political opposition is not only to take on the unlawful ways of the state but also to reverse this polarising slide in the wider society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/exams\/government\/ssc-cgl\/?refcode=4015&amp;utm_source=Blog_The+Hindu+Editorial+Vocabulary%E2%80%93+Apr+22%2C+2022%3B+Day+276_220422_SSCCGLM&amp;utm_medium=Link&amp;utm_campaign=SSCCGLM\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/SSC_CGL_Free_Mock_Test-1024x128.jpg\" alt=\"SSC_CGL_Free_Mock_Test\" class=\"wp-image-18039\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Keep your vocabulary updated with the help of our articles where we highlight 10 difficult words\/ phrases and explain their contextual sense.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":18058,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_uag_custom_page_level_css":"","_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[97,1480,1732,9,2,19,31,18,1773,16,23,1734,47],"tags":[69],"class_list":["post-18052","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-ecgc-po","category-esic-mts","category-esic-sso","category-esic-udc","category-rbi-assistant","category-rbi-grade-b","category-sbi-clerk","category-sebi-grade-a","category-sidbi-grade-a","category-ssc-cgl","category-ssc-chsl","category-ssc-mts","category-vocabulary","tag-editorials-difficult-words-2"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>The Hindu Editorial Vocabulary\u2013 Apr 22, 2022;
