New Delhi: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Friday called for a detailed discussion in Parliament on the rising air pollution levels in the national capital, urging the government to treat the worsening situation as a public health emergency.<\/p>\n
He questioned why Prime Minister PM Modi had not spoken on the issue, saying the silence from the highest office was concerning.<\/p>\n

Sharing a video of the interaction, he wrote that \u201cevery mom I meet tells me the same thing: her baby is growing up breathing toxic air. They are tired, frightened, and angry.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
