The petition goes on to claim that the politician took a chair and seated himself in front of an illegal settlement near Alladin Park and dared the authorities to carry on with the encroachment operation.
“He demanded that the Supreme Court orders for demolition of the property be shared with him, hence the petition deems him an interference in the implementation of court orders and wants him held accountable for using his clout to go against it,” the petition concluded.
