Zamil Khan, a resident of Nuh, expressed concern to IANS, over the recent events. He pointed out that instead of taking action against the armed Hindu activists who shouted provocative slogans during the procession, the police seemed to be selectively targeting Muslim properties during the demolition drive.

He questioned the authorities, saying: "The authorities have chosen to demolish homes and shops belonging to Muslims only. Why haven't they taken any action against those responsible for the violence and those who openly brandished weapons during the rally?"
