n Describing the pollution situation in the National Capital Region of Delhi as “turning diabolical”, BJP MP Varun Gandhi on Thursday said “neither the government nor the people” are “serious” about a resolution to the issue.
“Delhi NCR dhua-dhua hain...,” said the MP from Pilibhit, Uttar Pradesh, in his tweet in Hindi maintaining that most of the families he knew reported some one or the else suffering from the problems of “breathing , lung, cough and a kind of seizure.”
“Kahin parali , kahin patakhe , apno ko hi zeher parosana band kariye..”, he said, asking the two governments in Delhi not to “serve poison to your own loved-ones”.
With the air quality deteriorating, the BJP and the AAP, which is in power in Delhi and Punjab where incidents of stubble burning have shot up, have blamed each other for the annual crisis.
Varun questioned the lack of "concern and coordination" among multiple government agencies in tackling the crisis.
Neither government nor people are serious about this monstrous problem, he said in tweets, saying that hospitals are full of patients with breathing, heart and lung problems.
"Eight out of 10 children in Delhi-NCR have respiratory problems. After years of discussions, why is there a continuing lack of concern/coordination between multiple government entities," the BJP MP asked.
Varun wondered if the cost of solving the problem is higher than lifetime respiratory care for 46 million people.
