The annual summit of the Group of 20 economies is the largest gathering of world leaders ever in New Delhi, with attendees including President Joe Biden, British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and others.
They will be greeted by some of the cleanest streets New Delhi has seen, ornamented by hundreds of thousands of lush flowers potted on freshly painted pavements. What they will not see are the hundreds of thousands of people who have been displaced, or the slums that have been flattened or obscured by temporary fences bearing the G20 summit’s logo and photos of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Modi’s government hopes the beautification project will help showcase the best of what the world’s most populous country has to offer, further cementing its position on the global stage.
Anything that might disrupt that effort is unwelcome.
As is the custom prior to all G20’s that have ever been held anywhere, bulldoze the homeless and get them out of the way, must make it looks spiffy don’t ya know
Illegal enforcement is prevalent in Old and New Delhi. This happened during CWG, happening during G20 and will happen when Delhi hosts the next big event. All the “homes” will come back and demolished again, it’s a cycle.
Woah, woah, woah. Yes, the G20 is basically the Legion of Doom (if it was made entirely of Lex Luthor clones), but they usually at least try to slap a smiley face on their atrocities. Bulldozing homes is a little too on the nose, isn’t it, Modi?
Authorities say they have also deployed several dozen people to mimic the sounds made by langurs so that the rhesus monkeys will be further convinced the cardboard animals are real.
So… they hired people to walk around making langur noises? I want a detailed story specifically about this job. First, though, I need to hit Wikipedia and find out what a langur is.
Edit: Oh, it’s this.
I’m curious if this actually works.
As is tradition for G20 summits. Next they’ll be kettling protesters and sending in agent provacateurs like the police in Toronto when Canada hosted it.
“White Westerners when people of color actually want to be a part of the world”
I expected better from NBC, not this racist garbage that reeks of Trumpism
India? Mhmmm. Well as I was speaking…
*illeagal home . weird they always left the important part
These houses were there for several years without a problem, paying utilities and housing poor children and women, suddenly they are illegal because someone wants to use this opportunity for their own disgusting motives. While we’re discussing G20, you know what’s really ironic, it’s that in a country where 80% of the population would die of hunger if not fed by public welfare. They are serving delegates of foreign countries in utensils made up of gold and silver.
still illeagal tho and they left that part out
*illeagal home . weird they always left the important part
Well, that changes everything. You know what, they should just shoot them!! They aren’t human anyway.
/s
yes like illeagal immigrant /s
Have the courts found them to be illegal? There is a procedure to be followed for demolishing illegal encroachments. Demolitions of ‘illegal’ houses have recently been stopped by if I remember correctly the Punjab High Court.
sadly thats not punjab and those house were illeagal
those house were illeagal
First, the word is ‘illegal’. Second, the houses are only illegal if a court has found them to be encroaching on public property. Third, even if they are illegal, the owners have to first be served notice to vacate. (It appears they were not.)
Also I mentioned the Punjab HC’s verdict because in India the judgement of a High Court or the Supreme Court establishes a legal precedent that applies across the entire country.
Don’t feed the troll. These Upper Caste fucks only know how to bootlick the Hindutvadi regime.
