The meeting also saw the participation of eminent party leaders such as Delhi Congress president Subhash Chopra, PC Chacko, National general secretary KC Venugopal and treasurer Ahmed Patel.
The leaders were advised to carry out a public awareness campaign to combat pollution boosting public awareness about air pollution. The campaign will be carried out to increase the emotional connect of the people with the party too.
As quoted by ANI, Priyanka Gandhi said, “We have to fight the problem of pollution. Instead of pointing fingers at others, we should think about what can we do?”
It is also expected that the grand old party’s Delhi unit will soon distribute anti-pollution masks. The underprivileged sections of the society such as rickshaw pullers and auto drivers will also be getting the benefit of medical check-ups at the camp.
According to the sources, Priyanka Gandhi also lashed out at the ineffectiveness of the Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal‘s Odd-Even scheme.

हमें एक कोशिश प्रदूषण के खिलाफ भी करनी होगी। साफ हवा हमारा हक है और हमारी जिम्मेदारी भी।#LetsUniteAgainstPollution

1952 में लंदन में भयंकर स्मॉग ने 12000 लोगों की जान ली थी। शहर जाम हो गया था, लाखों लोग बीमार पड़ गए थे। इतनी बड़ी त्रासदी के बाद वहाँ साफ हवा के लिए क़ानून पास हुआ।
हम जैसे अपनी ज़िंदगी को बेहतर बनाने के लिए तमाम काम करते हैं। जीवन बीमा लेते हैं, कसरत करते हैं।
