Delhi BJP chief Adesh Gupta backed a letter demanding the removal of the ban on green firecrackers, addressed to L-G VK Saxena.
In view of the religious sentiments of people on the occasion of Vijaydashmi, Delhi Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) chief Adesh Gupta backed a letter demanding the removal of the ban on green firecrackers. The letter was written by the Delhi religious federation to Delhi Lieutenant Governor Vinai Kumar Saxena on September 28.
Adesh Gupta wrote a letter to L-G Saxena, demanding the revocation of the ban imposed by the Arvind Kejriwal-led government on green crackers. He said that a letter was written by the federation requesting to lift the ban on non-polluting fireworks for the Dussehra festival.
Therefore, we demand that keeping this letter in mind, the ban on green fireworks should be lifted immediately, the letter by Shri Adesh Gupta said.
He said that there was a need to find a way to keep the environment clean but religious sentiments should not be hurt at the same time, so that the people of Delhi can celebrate the festival of Vijayadashami with joy and gaiety.
Gupta alleged the Delhi government has been continuously promoting a particular section under the politics of appeasement.
"It has nothing to do with other Hindu festivals, including Vijayadashami and Ramleela. Today, only on the festival of Hindus in Delhi, the Arvind Kejriwal government talks about such problems and remembers all the restrictions. Whereas the reality is that Kejriwal works to promote a particular religion," Gupta alleged.
