Pollution Crisis: Congress MP Imran Masood Brings Oxygen Cylinder to Parliament; Sonia Gandhi Warns of 'Slow-Motion Tragedy'

2 weeks ago

In a dramatic protest against the severe air pollution crisis in the national capital, Congress MP Imran Masood arrived at the Parliament House with an oxygen cylinder on Wednesday. Speaking to the media, Masood stated, 'Pradhan Mantri Ji swam ismein pahle ke desh ke SAB sabhi Prabhavit pradeshon ke Mukhyamantriyon kiye committee banaaye' (The Prime Minister himself should form a committee of Chief Ministers of all affected states). The protest follows an op-ed by Congress Parliamentary Party Chairperson Sonia Gandhi, who termed the pollution crisis a 'slow-motion tragedy' claiming 34,000 lives annually. The report also highlights a high-level meeting called by the Delhi government involving agencies like DDMA and MCD. India Today's Sushant Mehra reports on the government's response, while citizens at Jantar Mantar demand immediate action.

00:00But as the toxic air continues to choke the national capital,

00:04the pollution crisis has now spilled into the heart of Indian democracy,

00:09triggering a sharp political confrontation inside the parliament.

00:13With air quality plunging to severe levels,

00:16the Congress has turned the spotlight on what it calls government inaction,

00:21staging dramatic protests inside the House.

00:24Several parts of Delhi continue to reel under hazardous air quality

00:28with multiple monitoring stations recording severe to toxic AQI levels,

00:34offering no respite to residents.

00:36In a hard-hitting op-ed, Sonia Gandhi has termed India's air pollution

00:41a slow-motion tragedy,

00:44warning that citizens are being forced to breathe toxic air on a daily basis.

00:49She underscores that pollution has claimed an estimated 34,000 lives

00:54across 10 major cities and calls for a full urgent government response

00:58to what she calls a larger environmental crisis.

01:02Inside parliament today, Congress MPs don't face masks in protest,

01:07demanding immediate action to tackle the air pollution emergency.

01:11Taking the protest a step further,

01:14Congress MP Imran Masood arrived with an oxygen cylinder,

01:18amplifying the party's charge that the capital is running out of breathable air.

01:31We need to take the protest of the Parliament.

01:34And besides the protest,

01:35the actions that the party's action should take action.

01:38We should take action completely.

01:39We do not have a default.

01:40This is our obligation,

01:43and we need to take all the answers,

01:45because the government is not the opportunity,

01:47the government is taking the action.

01:48Today, we will grant the Y.U. Productions to be granted to our government.

01:53We will ask that the government will make the government and the government will make a committee.

02:02We will make a state of the government and the government will make a state of the government.
