Shiv Sena Accuses Muslim Builders of 'Housing Jihad' in Mumbai SRA Projects

Party spokesperson Sanjay Nirupam alleges demographic manipulation through slum rehabilitation schemes and demands a government probe.

Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Nirupam claims Muslim developers in Mumbai's slum rehabilitation projects are favoring their community to alter local demographics.
Nirupam alleges fraudulent practices, including inflated beneficiary lists and misuse of Slum Rehabilitation Authority (SRA) rules to allocate multiple homes to single families.
Specific cases in areas like Oshiwara and suburbs including Govandi, Mankhurd, Kurla, and Bandra were highlighted, where Hindu-majority societies reportedly became Muslim-majority.
The allegations include claims of illegal Bangladeshi residents being granted homes and rejection of Hindu applicants in some projects.
Nirupam has written to Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, who oversees housing, calling for an investigation into these accusations.
