‘Defaming Diwali’: BJP blames Punjab for Delhi’s toxic air, says AAP made farmers burn stubble

Delhi Minister Manjinder Singh Sirsa accused the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) of deliberately politicizing Diwali and Hinduism. He alleged that Arvind Kejriwal banned firecrackers to appease a specific community and that AAP leaders have been criticizing the festival. Sirsa emphasized that Diwali is a Sanatan Hindu festival, not a BJP one, questioning the AAP’s negative stance.
