Rahul Gandhi pushes for debate on air pollution, government agrees

In this episode of Newstrack, the focus is on 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.' So, have our netas woken up a little too late? Watch as panellists debate the efficacy of current measures and the 'air emergency' choking the nation.
