'Firecrackers for celebrating Pakistan's victory in India but not for Diwali?', Sehwag questions hypocrisy behind ban

New Delhi, Oct 25: Legendary cricketer Virendra Sehwag has come up with a pointful question on a pointless ban on firecrackers during Diwali this year. He has questioned the bursting of firecrackers after India’s loss to Pakistan in the T20 World Cup match.

 

"Firecrackers are banned during Diwali but yesterday in parts of India there were firecrackers to celebrate Pakistan ‘s victory. Achha they must have been celebrating victory of cricket. Toh , what’s the harm in fireworks on Diwali. Hypocrisy kyun ,Saara gyaan tab hi yaad aata hai", Sehwag said in a tweet.

 

 

The social media users have come forward to laud for speaking on hypocrisy. A user said, "In one tweet Sehwag has expressed the sentiments of 100 million people & shown mirror to whole Political Class across party lines." Another user said, "They were celebrating over loss of India. Thank you Sehwag for speaking it out."

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sehwag’s tweet was aimed at calling out the hypocrisy of shaming Hindus for bursting firecrackers during Diwali and the ban on Diwali celebrations, while it was to burst fireworks on other kinds of ‘celebrations’.
