Shaikh Ab. Hamid Criticizes Demolition of Citizens’ Houses

Criticizing strongly the demolition of common people’s houses in the cold weather in Zahedan, the eminent Sunni leader said the act in the winter season was ‘nonsense’.
“SunniOnline” quoted the web portal of the office of Shaikh Abdol-Hamid, Friday imam and Khateeb of the Sunni community in Zahedan, southeastern Iran that he had said in a part of his sermon on 25th Nov. 2016, “Last day a group of people from the suburb of Zahedan city informed me their homes had been destroyed by the forces of Natural Resources Bureau while the weather is very cold.”
“Although legally the offices were right to implement the law, but I’d like to ask the officials of the natural resources and the judge who approved the demolition of those houses, when you destroy the houses of these people in this cold weather, where they should go?” he added more.
The rector of Darululoom Zahedan further said, “The land is a portion of the natural and national resources and it belongs to the whole nation. The people whose houses have been demolished in a cold weather belong to the same nation; at least they are human beings. We are supposed to provide shelter to animals in such weather, but human beings are no homeless.”
Shaikh Abdol-Hamid concluded his points and said, “It is a wrong act to demolish the houses of people without providing them ultimate places to inhabit. The pleasure of the national officials and the Almighty is not in demolition of people’s houses in these cold days. It is incorrect morally.”
