Dibrugarh: The Dibrugarh unit of Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) and the Bajrang Dal on Saturday issued a joint memorandum to the SP against the sale and bursting of firecrackers featuring images of Hindu gods and urged him to register a case.
The memorandum, submitted to SP Shwetank Mishra, mentioned that such practices were demeaning and could potentially hurt religious sentiments of the people.They also urged him to take strict measures and curb the sale and use of firecrackers, featuring religious imagery, while mentioning that it was crucial to preserving sentiments and faith of the Hindu community.
Expressing their concern, VHP and Bajrang Dal members stated that using firecrackers, adorned with the images of Hindu deities, was disrespectful and went against religious sanctity, adding that usage of such firecrackers not only diminished the divinity associated with Gods, but also portrayed them in an inappropriate light.
“Our country BHARAT is a land of diverse religion, culture, tribe, etc and all religions are entitled to equal respect from every citizen. Diwali is one of the greatest festival of our country. However, it has come to our notice that a few businessmen of the district have been engaged in selling firecrackers and other items by using names and pictures of Hindu gods and goddesses, thereby insulting and hurting the religious sentiments of Hinduism which is not at all tolerable,” the memorandum read.
“We therefore request you to kindly look into the matter and take all necessary steps to stop these illegal activities as stated above and register a case in regard to the same,” the joint memorandum, signed by VHP’s unit president Dimbeswar Hazarika and Bajrang Dal convenor Abhijit Bajrangi, stated.

How green are your green firecrackers?
Green crackers are a safer alternative to traditional firecrackers as they release 30% less particulate matter and produce less noise pollution. They use potassium nitrate instead of barium compounds and include dust suppressants and iron oxides to reduce emissions. To identify green crackers, look for the CSIR-NEERI logo and a QR code on the packaging. However, some regular crackers are disguised as green by adding the NEERI logo. While customers mostly prioritize noise and light, the majority of crackers in metros and tier-2 cities are green due to Supreme Court guidelines.
