New Delhi: Lok Sabha Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi Friday , proposed that the Parliament discuss the issue of air pollution in cities with a solution-centric bipartisan approach, instead of indulging in politics of blame often seen during debates.

Gandhi, during Zero Hour, said that most Indian cities are shrouded in a blanket of poisonous air, leading to the suffering of millions of children and the elderly, many of whom are “getting cancer” and whose “future is being destroyed”.

“I am certain that there will be full agreement between the government and us (the opposition) on this issue. This is not an ideological issue. Everybody in this House would agree that air pollution, the damage it is doing to our people, is something that we would like to cooperate on,” Gandhi said.
