Kharge questions Modi govt on Delhi air pollution, calls clean air a fundamental right

Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge argued that clean air is a basic right rather than a privilege. He pointed to worsening air pollution in Delhi and faulted the government for relying on piecemeal measures over several years. Kharge referred to troubling figures on pollution-related deaths and environmental funds that remain unused in the capital. He also noted a Supreme Court directive asking states to tackle pollution concerns within two weeks.
