Rahul seeks debate in Parliament on Delhi air pollution, questions PM Modi's silence
Nov-28-2025

Ahead of the Winter session of Parliament, Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi demanded a detailed discussion in the House on the issue of air pollution in the national capital as he questioned the silence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi on this ‘health emergency’.

Rahul Gandhi demanded a strict, enforceable action plan to tackle air pollution and asked why the Modi government was not showing any urgency or accountability on the issue.  He said, ‘Every mother I meet tells me the same thing: her child is growing up breathing toxic air. They are exhausted, scared and angry’ and asked ‘Modi ji, India’s children are choking in front of us. How can you stay silent.  Why does your government show no urgency, no plan, no accountability.’

The Leader of Opposition reiterated his demand for an immediate parliamentary debate and a concrete action plan, asserting, ‘Our children deserve clean air, not excuses and distractions.’ 

Delhi has been battling very poor air quality for the past 15 days, with forecasts by the Air Quality Early Warning System suggesting conditions will remain in the ‘very poor’ range in the coming week.
