After Rahul Gandhi, the Leader of Opposition, raised the issue of air pollution in the Lok Sabha (LoP) on Friday, Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra said that everyone, including the government, has agreed to discuss it.
Speaking to reporters outside the House, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra said, “I think everyone agreed on it. The government has also said it is ready to discuss. An action plan should be made. It is enough now, as pollution is increasing continuously. While we discuss different topics, there must also be a discussion on this. Something concrete should come out of it. It will be good if the government prepares an action plan and implements it.”
Rahul Gandhi said, “I raised the pollution issue in the House. This is a matter all parties can agree on, as children are affected and people suffer from diseases like cancer. I suggested that there should be a unanimous discussion, not a blame game, with expert input, to show the country that we can work together in a united way.”
