Delhi Pollution Row: Congress MP Manickam Tagore Backs Gadkari, Slams Govt Denial

Congress MP Manickam Tagore welcomes Union Minister Nitin Gadkari’s admission that he faces health issues due to Delhi’s pollution. Tagore highlights the contradiction between Gadkari’s statement and the government’s earlier denial of a link between air quality and lung diseases. He criticizes Environment Minister Bhupender Yadav for being in 'denial mode' while the transport minister accepts the crisis. Tagore mentions raising an adjournment motion in Parliament to discuss the issue. He rejects the 'Beijing model' as unsuitable for a democracy but urges a collaborative plan to protect future generations.
