## Bombay High Court reaction
The Bombay High Court said it was disturbed by politicians targeting actor Dia Mirza for a video she shot urging Mumbai residents not to light firecrackers during Diwali.
## Court orders re-upload
The court directed Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation to re-upload the video to restore public confidence after BJP city unit chief objected.
## Politicians' objection
Bharatiya Janata Party city unit chief Ameet Satam said they don't need lessons on Diwali celebrations from Dia Mirza as traditions are deeply rooted in culture.
## Court's reasoning
The court stated India is secular and no individual can be isolated from celebrating Diwali, objecting to religious participation is against the country's principles.
## Environmental focus
The court emphasized the matter is purely about environment and public health, with no room for factionalism in health and pollution discussions.
## Key takeaway

Bombay High Court ordered Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation to re-upload Dia Mirza's Diwali video urging residents not to light firecrackers after BJP city unit chief objected.
