[All the three members of the SC bench delivering the order, btw, are Hindus - Justice Arjun Kumar Sikri, Justice Abhay Manohar Sapre and Justice Ashok Bhushan, at least by birth. So are the three petitioners - three children, Arjun Gopal, Aarav Bhandari and Zoya Rao Bhasin.
While critiquing an order, even by the SC, is quite kosher; attribution of motive is not. And for a constitutional authority to publicly ridicule an SC verdict is something more than unusual. Not only that, the criticism overlies the dogwhistle hurling of the abusive label "anti-Hindu".] https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/sc-ban-on-fireworks-in-delhi-during-diwali-will-hindus-now-be-told-they-cant-cremate-dead-asks-tripura-governor/articleshow/61031122.cms SC ban on fireworks in Delhi during Diwali: 'Will Hindus now be told they can't cremate dead?' asks Tripura governor TIMESOFINDIA.COM | Updated: Oct 11, 2017, 12:25 IST HIGHLIGHTS The SC had on Monday banned the sale of fireworks during Diwali in the Delhi-NCR region citing environmental reasons Most people welcomed the order, but there was a section of people that gave the order a communal colour.

Roy also believes the order on fireworks was influenced by those artistes and writers who last year returned their State awards to protest what they called "rising intolerance". The Tripura governor took to Twitter late yesterday to express his outrage. "First, they targeted the 'Dahi handi' custom, now its fireworks, perhaps tomorrow the 'award wapsi gang' will use environmental pollution as an excuse to call for an end to Hindus cremating their dead," Roy tweeted.

What is the point if we are not able to celebrate Diwali, the celebrations that mark the homecoming of Lord Rama from a 14- year exile," said Singh, according to PTI. He also said that fireworks on one day wouldn't do much harm to the environment, and invited residents of Delhi-NCR to go to Madhya Pradesh to celebrate Diwali - with fireworks, of course. -- Peace Is Doable -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Green Youth Movement" group.
