‘Not Doing Anyone A Favour’: In Diwali Message, Kejriwal Asks Delhi Not To Burst Crackers

In a press conference, AAP national convener Arvind Kejriwal emphasized that the ban on bursting firecrackers during Diwali was not a Hindu-Muslim issue, but a matter of public health due to rising pollution levels. He urged people to celebrate the festival of lights by lighting diyas instead. Kejriwal highlighted that the Supreme Court and high court also support this directive. Despite the air quality in Delhi being poor, Kejriwal’s message aimed at protecting the health of children and prioritizing everyone’s well-being over traditional celebrations.
