Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has called for Parliament to take up air pollution as a matter of urgency, saying it has turned into a national health emergency that requires immediate government action and financial backing. They are asking for clean air,” Rahul said in a Facebook post. Earlier, he said Indians are paying a heavy price for air pollution, both in terms of health and the economy, with children and the elderly suffering the most. In a post on X last week, Rahul urged citizens to speak up against air pollution and share their experiences. He invited them to share the story of “how air pollution has affected you or your loved ones” through the link https://rahulgandhi.in/awaazbharatki.
