Bombay HC ‘Deeply Pained’ Over Dia Mirza Video Row, Asks BMC To Re-Upload
What Happened
The Bombay High Court expressed“deep pain and displeasure” after the BMC removed actor Dia Mirza’s video promoting an eco-friendly, firecracker-free Diwali following objections from Mumbai BJP chief Ameet Satam and Mayor Ritu Tawde. The court asked the civic body to re-upload the video, saying the campaign was meant to raise awareness about air and noise pollution.
Key Takeaways
The court said an environmental awareness campaign should not be drawn into unrelated controversy and stressed the need for secularism, respect and togetherness.
