On this broadcast, India Today anchor Sonal Mehrotra Kapoor discusses the Parliament’s failure to debate the severe pollution crisis during the ongoing Winter Session. Reporters Aishwarya Paliwal and Piyush Mishra highlight that the scheduled discussion under Rule 193 was abandoned due to the uproar over the VBG Ramji Bill, introduced by Union Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan to replace MGNREGA. Paliwal notes, ‘I doubt that in this session, we will see a discussion on the burning issue of pollution.’ The programme also covers the cancellation of a cricket match in Lucknow and concerts in Delhi due to hazardous air quality. Opposition MPs, including Priyanka Gandhi Vadra and Bansuri Swaraj, were prepared to speak, but the House was adjourned following protests over the removal of Mahatma Gandhi’s name from the rural employment scheme.
