The Delhi Congress on Thursday lashed out at the AAP for burning Ravana effigies in the national Capital and said this "blatant violation" of pollution norms caused the air quality in the city to turn poor.
The AAP on Tuesday burnt effigies of Ravana at around 3,500 locations in Delhi in a symbolic protest against the BJP's "failure" to maintain cleanliness in the Capital.
'Ravana made of BJP's garbage' was written on all the effigies burnt during the protest. Delhi Congress president Anil Kumar said it was a blatant violation of Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM) norms.
"The CAQM has put a total ban on burning of waste, use of generators and construction work generating dust, but AAP leaders and workers flouted the guideline and put the lives of Delhiites in danger," he said.
