Why is pollution persisting despite no stubble burning, asks Opposition
The BJP on Monday demanded that Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal apologise to the farmers of Delhi, Punjab, Uttar Pradesh and Haryana for “projecting them as villains” in regard to stubble burning and the resulting pollution in the Capital.
Leader of the Opposition in the Delhi Assembly asked why air pollution levels in the city were still high despite no stubble being currently burnt in these States.
“Kejriwal had projected them as a villain across the country, blaming farmers, especially from Punjab, for the pollution in Delhi. Now there is no incident of stubble burning anywhere in Punjab, Haryana and Uttar Pradesh, but Delhi’s pollution remains in the dangerous category,” Mr. Bidhuri said.
