BJP's Tejasvi Surya calls Bengaluru municipal body's rules for Durga Puja celebration discriminatory
India Today
Tejasvi Surya has called the Bengaluru municipal body's rules for the Durga Puja celebration discriminatory.
Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)member and Lok Sabha MP Tejasvi Surya has called the guidelines issued by the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) for those celebrating Durga Puja discriminatory, arbitrary, and illogical. There is a general tendency in sections of the bureaucracy to think that it’s OK to put any and every kind of restrictions on Hindu festivals. This is a colonial relic.Post 2014, the awakened Hindu resists such attempts. This colonialism must end too. https://t.co/BU5YMSbdxH
Tejasvi published his letter written to the BBMP Chief Commissioner in a tweet saying, “The restrictions imposed through the order regarding the size of the idol appears to be taken without any logical relevance. It is beyond the understanding of any reasonable person as to how the size of the idol is related to the spread of the Covid-19 virus. There is no basis for this decision of allowing idols that are only 4ft or below. This is prima facie arbitrary and devoid of merit.”
