BJP MP Gautam Gambhir expressed his view on Delhi pollution crisis in Lok Sabha and said that pollution is a topic which affects everyone irrespective of our caste, creed, age & religion. He further said, '' Pollution is affecting us while we stand and talk about it in Parliament. It's high time we stop politicising this issue.''
Cricketer-turned-politician Gautam Gambhir speaks on Delhi pollution in Lok Sabha, said, ''The state is that of a climate emergency - Delhi is the worst affected. The state can no longer get away with gimmick like Odd-Even & banning construction sites. We need long term sustainable solutions&stop the blame game. It's time to own up&act responsibly.''
BJP leader Sudhanshu Trivedi, on Jallianwala Bagh National Memorial (Amendment) Bill said, ''Thousands of people sacrificed their lives at Jallianwala Bagh. In future, it should be never said that we attained independence without shedding a single drop of blood. We'll never have to say that we gained freedom without 'khadag, dhaal', the freedom struggle began when thousands of people faced bullets and shed their blood.''
Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla expresses displeasure over absence of Parliament officers and staff during important discussions in the House.
BJP leader Parvesh Sahib Singh Verma said during discussion in pollution that for last 4.5 years the Delhi CM kept saying that the Prime Minister doesn't let him work, the Delhi Lieutenant Governor doesn't let him work. He added, ''In the last six months everyone is letting him work, he is distributing everything for free.''
Amid discussions on pollution in Lok Sabha, TMC leader Kakoli Ghosh Dastidar said, ''When we have a 'Swachh Bharat mission', can't we have a 'Swachh hawa mission'? Shouldn't we be ensured the right to breath clean air?...In Delhi we might be staring at a situation of mass asphyxia.''
Lok Sabha: TMC leader Kakoli Ghosh Dastidar said during the discussion in pollution that out of the 10 most polluted cities in the world, 9 are in India. It is quite unnerving that a foreign Premier of a country who was on a visit to India, made an adverse comment. She said that the government should draw their attention towards it.

It's not only about air pollution, our rivers are also polluted today.''
Congress leader Manish Tewari said in Lok Sabha ''When the pollution issue occurs every year in Delhi then why is it that no voice is raised from government and this House over this?
