Delhi Pollution Row: Priyanka Gandhi And Minister Sirsa Trade Sharp Barbs

Delhi continues to battle severe air pollution as thick smog blankets the national capital, pushing air quality into the ‘severe’ and ‘very poor’ categories. Amid public health concerns, Delhi Environment Minister Manjinder Singh Sirsa apologised to residents, stating that efforts were underway to address the crisis. However, Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra criticised the government, calling the response delayed and inadequate. The exchange escalated further as political leaders traded remarks inside and outside Parliament. While Delhi’s AQI showed marginal improvement, opposition parties continue to demand parliamentary discussion as the government faces criticism over its pollution control measures.
