Our movement shows what people, united for a common cause, can do even without the support of political parties.

A careful study of the court order reveals that to hide their own shortcomings and dereliction in duties, the MCD officials have perhaps not placed actual facts in the court and a weak case was fought.

We submitted a memorandum to the president and sought his direct intervention in the matter. We appraised him about our plight in the wake of the sealing of shops in residential areas.

We want the government to file a petition against the order to tackle the problem.

We took to the streets because all other methods had failed. All political parties failed us miserably on this issue.

A multiplicity of authorities is leading to complications and we gave the minister a memorandum demanding complete statehood. It will cut down the time spent on passing an order or implementing a policy.

We drew his attention to the matter that the implementation of Supreme Court's order is an infringement of our fundamental right to live peacefully.

We had a positive interaction with Joshi for around 45 minutes and he said that any formula to stop sealing has to be within the court directive.
