Warned of legal action
Bhupendra Arsule, associated with the organization, says that firecrackers were being sold with the photo of Shri Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, the idol of Maratha community, which is wrong. Because whoever goes home with firecrackers will also tear the photo of Shivaji Maharaj stuck on the firecrackers to burst them, which will cause insult. Due to this the organization has expressed protest. He said that even after that, if the firecracker traders continue selling firecrackers in the market like this, then legal action will be taken against them.
