Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Sunday renewed his attack on India’s air pollution crisis, linking it directly to public health and economic distress, and urging citizens to speak up about its impact on their lives. In a post on X, the Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha said air pollution is extracting a daily cost from ordinary Indians. ADVERTISEMENT“We are paying a heavy price for air pollution -- with our health and with our economy. Rahul cautioned against treating air pollution as a seasonal concern that fades from public memory once winter passes. The Congress leader has repeatedly flagged air pollution as a national issue, including during the recent Winter Session of Parliament, where he demanded a discussion on the subject.
