Diwali cracker ban against 'Hindu belief' says manufacturer in petition to SC

It also claimed that a ban could leave thousands of workers without

Close to a week after the Supreme Court on Friday said it will actively consider limiting the firework bursting time on Diwali to a period of five hours between 5 pm and 10 pm, a cracker manufacturer has moved the court against the proposed move.

According to a report in the Times of India, a leading cracker manufacturer in the Rs 10 billion industry in Sivakasi has moved the Supreme Court saying banning fireworks during Diwali would be against Hindu belief and mythology.

Kaliswari Fireworks, which produces the 'Cock' brand of crackers, told the court that Diwali was the biggest of all Hindu festivals and a cracker ban against it would not be justified on religious grounds.

In India, any body can seek refuge under Hindu religious belief.

What is wrong with this...After all crackers are used mainly during Diwali...It is a Hindu festival...Why take Hindus for granted?
