Congress leader Rahul Gandhi said pollution is no longer just an environmental issue but a national health emergency. Gandhi said over the last few days, he has read thousands of messages from Indians about what pollution is doing to their lives. The Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha also said that the Union Budget must put real resources behind real solutions. Gandhi last week had said that people are paying a heavy price for air pollution with their health and the country’s economy. He had asked people to share the story of “how air pollution has affected you or your loved ones’ in a post on his X account.
