Mumbai Mayor Ritu Tawde on Monday went after actor Dia Mirza like a heat-seeking missile, calling the actor, among other things, “anti-Hindutva” hours after the city civic body dropped the anti-firecrackers video featuring her.
“It is not to do with any religion. She has always taken an anti-Hindu and anti-government stand. That is the reason for opposing her, not her religion. “Dia Mirza does selective propaganda, we have seen in the past. She can post whatever she wants on her personal handle but will not be allowed to do so on BMC handle.
We believe in secularism,” Tawde said. We will make sure she is blacklisted in our Mahayuti government,” Tawde said. The Mayor said the situation was a result of a “miscommunication from the administration”.

“Why it was posted and later removed all these answers you will get from BMC administration.
The BMC administration had not consulted us,” Tawde said. “I will make sure and discuss it with BMC Commissioner that this doesn’t happen again, also henceforth the public relation department should put these proposal with us too,” she said.
