'We Will Not Hurt Religious Sentiments, But…': SC Favours Balanced Approach Over Blanket Firecracker Ban Ahead Of Diwali

The only problem, and we are repeating this, is that the moment you pass an order, a restrictive order, people take it as if it is a kind of coercive action. It is a human reaction. We should be very practical and pragmatic in these things,
Because fireworks are not part of religion; worship is! Firecrackers are not. Gods would be aghast if they knew that children are suffering and getting sick in their name,
We will not hurt religious sentiments, but at the same time, people should themselves come forward. The whole exercise should involve a balancing approach. If we adopt this balanced approach, society itself becomes awakened, and people come forward,

Maharashtra: MNS Launches Statewide Signature Campaign Seeking CEC Gyanesh Kumar’s Resignation |VIDEO

Mahesh BhanushalimNS leader
I do not understand why this happened or under whose pressure. The signature campaign is underway across Mumbai, but the programme was not allowed in the Chandivali Assembly constituency.
