'Let Children Have Fun', Says Sadhguru Favouring Crackers Bursting
Sadhguru has favoured crackers bursting on Diwali. Read more to know what he said.
On Wednesday morning, Vasudev popularly known as Sadhguru has tweeted and offered an alternate solution to "those people who are concerned about pollution". He said, "Concern about air pollution is not a reason to prevent kids from experiencing the joy of firecrackers. As your sacrifice for them, walk to your office for 3 days. Let them have the fun of bursting crackers."
Along with the Twitter post, Sadhguru also posted a video in support of his argument. He said, "I have not lit a cracker in quite a few years. But when I was a child how much it meant … from the month of September, we’ll be dreaming of crackers and after Diwali is over, the next one-two months, we will save the crackers and keep on doing them every day."
On Monday, the Supreme Court overturned the Calcutta High Court’s order banning firecrackers during the festival season, including Kali Puja, Diwali and Gurupurab, in view of air pollution and health condition of Covid-19 patients in home isolation. It said that there "cannot be a blanket ban on firecrackers" and allowed green crackers in areas with "moderate" air quality.
