Don’t play politics over Chhath Puja: CM

Manoj Tiwari asks Kejriwal to join him in requesting L-G to lift restrictions
The ban on organising Chhath Puja at public places snowballed into a political issue on Saturday even as Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal appealed to his opponents not to “indulge in politics” over the issue.
Speaking on the sidelines of a ceremony at the Delhi Assembly, Mr. Kejriwal sought to assert that restrictions imposed on the Chhath Puja were for the safety of citizens amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
“There is a risk involved because if even one person is infected, he or she can spread it to everyone else through the medium of water [during arghyas],” Mr. Kejriwal said.
