The BJP MLA from Delhi Cantonment, Karan Singh Tanwar, today threatened the government that he would take law in his hands and would de-seal the properties that had been sealed by the officials of the Cantonment Board in civil areas if the authorities concerned did not accept people's demand to maintain the status quo of the properties belong to civilians.

''I have met the Delhi Defence Minister, appealing him not to demolish the properties as the people have been living in the area since 1914. A total number of five villages are located in the Cantonment area. But authorities concerned had not paid heed to my request," he said.

The MLA said that Chief Minister, Sheila Dikshit, had assured the people that not a single property would be sealed or demolish in the area. But, so far, 10 establishments have been sealed and two properties have been demolished. Singh said that the BJP had moved a resolution at the Cantonment Board meeting but it was rejected as it was not supported by the members of the Congress. The Congress plays double game. On one hand the Chief Minister assures to help the civilian population, on the other the Congress members had not supported the proposal that was moved to protect the sealing and demolition of the properties belonged to civilian population, he said. In protest against the indifferent attitude of the city government and the Cantonment Board authorities the civilian population will celebrate a black Divali this year, he added.

The Delhi Women Commission, Barkha Shukla Singh, has condemned Gujarat Chief Minister Narender Modi's derogatory remarks about the wife of Union State HRD Minister Shashi Tharoor, Sunanda Pushkar and sought an apology from him for the same.

"The remarks against a woman of repute are most uncalled for, disgusting, highly condemnable and preposterous. This anti-women attitude of Modi clearly amounted to character assassination and outraging of the modesty of a woman," she said while addressing a press conference at DCW headquarters today.

She questioned him as to who has given him the authority or freedom or right to pass such undignified, unconstitutional and highly derogatory remarks against a woman of repute. In a democracy every women irrespective of her status has the fundamental constitutional right to lead her own life freely, as she wishes and issuance of such disparaging remarks like "50 crore girl friends", etc., straight away goes against the values of the Indian Constitution.
