What's behind this
The BMC removed a pollution‑awareness video featuring actress Dia Mirza after Mumbai BJP chief Ameet Satam objected to her appeal, prompting questions about the civic body’s campaign, the High Court’s directions and possible selective action. The corporation had enlisted several celebrities for a firecracker‑against campaign after the Bombay High Court criticised the BMC for rising air pollution and its failure to regulate cracker bursting during festivals. The Mumbai mayor labelled Dia Mirza ‘Anti‑Hindutva’, and reports say the BJP forced the BMC to pull down the eco‑friendly Diwali video.
