“All such laws are for Hindu festivals only,” a BJP spokesman said while attacking AAP.
New Delhi:
A day after Delhi Environment Minister Gopal Rai announced that a complete ban on the sale of firecrackers would continue, the BJP today attacked the Aam Aadmi Party government via a video from the residence of the newly appointed Minister. Delhi appointee, Raj Kumar Anand, shows supporters setting off firecrackers to celebrate his ascension.
BJP Delhi spokesman Harish Khurana tweeted the video, questioning whether the firecrackers were polluting. He also alleges that all such laws are only for Hindu festivals.
“If Hindus set off firecrackers during Diwali, then pollution causes pollution, if your workers set off firecrackers when becoming a minister, that’s okay. @ArvindKejriwal
By the way, firecrackers burned by the Minister must be special, not polluting?
All such laws are for Hindu festivals only,” he tweeted in Hindi.

AAP has yet to respond to the controversy.
The ban on firecrackers becomes an annual political festival during Diwali, with the AAP fighting against the wall while the BJP launches sharp attacks accused of being “anti-Hindu”.
Last week, the Supreme Court denied an urgent hearing a call against a ban on all firecrackers in the national capital until January 1, 2023.
On October 10, the Supreme Court refused to uphold the Delhi government’s order banning the possession, sale and use of all firecrackers until January 1 to check pollution levels in the capital. countries, saying they don’t want more air pollution. .
Last year, the highest court affirmed the ban was not against any community.
“Under the guise of enjoying you [manufacturers] can not play with the life of the citizen. We are not against specific communities. “We want to send a strong message that we are here to protect the basic rights of citizens,” the court said.
The Supreme Court said the previous ban on fireworks was passed after giving specific reasons.
“All firecrackers are not banned. It is for the greater benefit of the public. There is a special impression being made. It should not be predicted that it is banned for a specific purpose. Last time we did. I said we didn’t come to indulge but we can’t go the way of basic human rights,” it said.
