Pollution in Delhi has become a grave concern for the country. However, even after the supreme court’s stringent remarks and the condition of choking Delhiites, didn’t mean anything for officials of the parliamentary committee who were asked to attend the meeting to check the way to reduce the air pollution.
Parliament’s Standing Committee called the meeting on Urban Development. However, the meeting had to be canceled as the meeting was only attended by 4 MPs including Jagdambika Pal, Hussain Masoodi, CR Patil and Sanjay Singh.
The whole incident left the people angry and adding more salt to the wound, the East Delhi’s MP, Gautam Gambhir was at Indore commentating at India-Bangladesh match. Former Indian cricketer VVS Laxman took to his twitter and shared a few pictures of himself with Gautam Gambhir enjoying Jalebis. Sharing the pictures he wrote:
“Kabhi pohe se teekhe, kabhi jalebi se meethe … wonderful start to the day in Indoor, where we had breakfast outdoor ?”

Such a shame. People have to wake up to who they chose and start giving their life importance themselves. Warna they will keep chosing ppl who will keep running and eat jalebi while they suffer #gautamgambhir #DelhiPollution
