On this Special Report, Maria Shakeel discusses the rare political consensus on India’s air pollution crisis. Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi urged the Lok Sabha to rise above ‘ideological’ battles, stating, ‘Everybody in this house would agree that air pollution, the damage it is doing to our people, is something that we would like to cooperate on.’ The government agreed to the debate, though Minister of State for Environment Kirti Vardhan Singh maintained that WHO guidelines are merely ‘advisory.’ Panelists Vimlendu Jha, Congress spokesperson Bhavya Narasimhamurthy, and CPCB member Dr. Anil Gupta debate the efficacy of current measures and the ‘air emergency’ choking the nation.
