‘I Will Burst Crackers Only After I Finish My Puja’, BJP MP Says In Response To ‘8-10 PM SC Order’
Chintamani Malviya, BJP MP from Ujjain
After an order of the Supreme Court that allowed bursting of crackers on Diwali for only two hours between 8 pm and 10 pm, Member of Parliament of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Chintamani Malviya has said that he will celebrate Diwali in a traditional manner and burst crackers ‘only after completing Laxmi Poojan’ at 10 pm.
Chintamani Malviya is MP of the ruling party from Ujjain Lok Sabha constituency in Madhya Pradesh.
Malviya added that he will not tolerate any kind of interference in Hindu traditions and if he had to go to jail for following his religious traditions, he would be happy to do so.
Malviya, speaking to the press on the SC order, said the Hindu calendar determines our religious traditions and festivals and a time limit cannot be set on festivals.

The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.

Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
