Coming to Priyanka.. What do you expect from these celebrities? They live in their own bubble, they have no idea about problems of real world. When some NGO or government organizations ask them to promote something they do it as it gives them publicity and money. But that doesn't mean what she was promoting shouldn't be taken seriously.
@bold : yes, we might be selfish and we need that jolt to wake us up.........we might be the worst community in the whole world..........but its a collective issue happening all through out the year....... if just one day contributed to pollution then it wouldn't happen to this level.......
yes, the issues are there, all of them.......do we need to reform........yes we do........ can we celebrate diwali without crackers......of course we can........I and my family has been doing it since past decade........ but does that mean diwali fire crackers are the only one causing the problem..........no......so dont make it look like an issue na.........take other measures......start car-pooling, use public transport.....plant more trees and the cracker will not even seem like a problem anymore........
and this trend is visible in every Hindu festival........ every festival some or the other fake woke celeb wake up to post something negative to make the festival negative for some people.........every diwali i see the message saying think of the dog, the crackers will hurt their ears........ should we care for the dogs.......of course we should.......but then the crackers which are burst on new year, or when India wins a cricket match, equally hurt the dogs........ the entire world burst crackers during new year.....do they not have dogs.........of course they do...........shouldn't the message be circulated that time too..........
why dont these celebs speak for other festivals ? Does other festival not hurt the society at all........no, that's not true.......its just become cool to target hindu festivals............. then they do so, even when they are blatantly lying, as pointed out by @ronaldo_fan.......
anyways, this is my last reply.......i feel we are going in circles.......
