However, TrueIndology claimed that firecrackers find a mention even in old scriptures and have been a part of Deepavali celebrations. As the argument continued and many other people joined in to offer counter-arguments to D Roopa, in another tweet, Roopa had written to TrueIndology, “Your time is up”.

Later, in a Facebook post, TrueIndology has shared that his account has been suspended by Twitter.
