On November 28, 2025, Rahul Gandhi, the Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha, called for an urgent debate in Parliament on the escalating air pollution crisis in Delhi. He met with mothers who expressed their fears for their children's health, as many are suffering from respiratory issues due to toxic air. Gandhi criticized the Modi government for its inaction, stating that children are 'choking' and deserve clean air. He highlighted the need for a serious discussion and a decisive action plan to address this health emergency. The air quality in Delhi has been categorized as 'very poor,' with pollution levels exacerbated by seasonal factors and human activities. Despite previous attempts to mitigate the issue, such as cloud seeding, the situation remains dire, prompting public protests for immediate government intervention.
