Dia Mirza Diwali appeal row: Deeply pained, says HC; asks BMC to re-upload video

 The Bombay high court found the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation’s removal of Dia Mirza’s video unfortunate and requested its restoration. This action followed objections from BJP’s Mumbai unit chief Ameet Satam, linking the video to anti-India sentiments. Mirza’s video urged citizens to avoid firecrackers and pollution during Diwali celebrations. Despite the removal, other celebrity campaign videos were retained on BMC’s social media accounts. The Bombay high court found the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation’s removal of Dia Mirza’s video unfortunate and requested its restoration.
