On 2 June, the Railway administration demolished approximately 100 jhuggis in Delhi’s Wazirpur area, rendering hundreds of families homeless under the blistering summer heat. In response, CPI(ML) held a jan sabha (public meeting) in Wazirpur on 7 June with the participation of the displaced families. The party strongly condemned the fresh notices issued by the Railway administration for further demolitions and declared that the evictions would be resisted. Raising the slogan “Bulldozer raj nahin chalega! Wazirpur mein bina punarvaas visthapan nahin chalega!”, CPI(ML) vowed to intensify the struggle in the coming days.

On 9 June, a delegation of Wazirpur residents met with CPI(ML) MP Comrade Sudama Prasad, and submitted a memorandum regarding the evictions. He assured them he would raise the issue both with the government and in upcoming meetings of the Railway Committee.

The resistance reached the streets again on 10 June, with a large protest rally led by the red flag of CPI(ML). Residents marched through Wazirpur, demanding a halt to the demolitions and calling for dignified resettlement. “We set out to save our homes — come walk with us,” was the rallying cry.

On June 10, CPI(ML) MP Sudama Prasad, wrote a letter to the Chairperson of the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Railways, strongly condemning the action as “a gross violation of justice and constitutional values.” He pointed out that the demolitions, carried out during peak summer, left families — including children and the elderly — exposed to unbearable heat without shelter, water or electricity.
