AGARTALA, Oct 19 (TIWN): Criticism had erupted after Tripura Governor questioned about the Muslim led Namaz which initiates noise pollution everyday creating uneasiness for ill people and children. But apart from politics, in a scientific and humanitarian views also Tathagata Roy has received many appreciations as Namaz is auspicious but absolutely it's abusing to use with loud speakers at 4.30 AM.
Governor Tweeted, "Every Diwali fights start over noise pollution from crackers. A few days in a year. But no fight about Azaan over loudspeakers at 4.30 am".
Outspoken Governor didn't stop when he was criticized, rather he clearly again said, "Wrong comment. I compared firecracker noise NOT TO AZAAN,but to AZAAN OVER LOUDSPEAKERS. Azaan must be shouted out by Muezzins from Minarets".
Earlier, on Oct 11, Roy had unwelcomed the sudden halting of Diwali business of Fire Crackers at Delhi (NCR )which was verdicted IN 2016 and asked to follow from 2017 to diminish the air-pollution.
The fire cracker ban not only caused losses to the businessmen at there but it also created tensed situations across the Delhi-NCR area as Hindus have come in massive protest. Governor Tathgata Roy tweeted, "Because unlike Diwali patakas they spread no pollution. But they teach cruelty to children, pollute their minds, much worse".
However, most of Hindus supporting the ban to firecrackers are pointing out, 'Why only in case of Hindu religions only bans are done ?' Young College goers said, "The whole year I have to breath in polluted air of Delhi, why stopping us for a single day to pollute the air ?"
