What did Rahul Gandhi say?
Rahul Gandhi said in Parliament, “Most of our big cities are wrapped in poisonous air. From children to the elderly, people are having trouble breathing. This is a serious issue. I have full confidence that there will be complete agreement between the government and us on this issue. This is not an ideological issue, everyone needs to cooperate on this. Some solution should be found for pollution. For this, both the government and the opposition should sit and discuss and make different plans regarding pollution.”
Rahul Gandhi has appealed to Prime Minister Narendra Modi to take initiative in this regard. Rahul Gandhi said that there should be a debate on this issue in Parliament. So that its solution can be found. Don’t blame why you didn’t do it nor say what we didn’t do. We have to focus on what we are going to do for the people of India. Instead of blaming each other, we have to talk about the future of India.
