Bursting of firecrackers is not a matter of religion, but it affects the lives of people, Delhi Environment Minister Gopal Rai said on Wednesday.
Addressing a press conference here, Mr Rai alleged that some people from Opposition parties were trying to sabotage the Delhi government’s fight against pollution by linking firecracker bursting to religion.
"Bursting of firecrackers is not a matter of religion but lives of people. Some people want to fulfil their political ambitions… I appeal to them with folded hands to not play with the lives of Delhi's children and elderly. There are many other issues for politics... Please let people breathe," he said.
