As Delhi and its adjourning regions reel under polluted air, a Bharatiya Janata Party leader has blamed Pakistan and China for the situation.
Vineet Agarwal Sharda from Uttar Pradesh on Tuesday said that Pakistan and China are responsible for the polluted air in India and claimed that either of the two neighbouring countries could have released poisonous gases into India.
“Ye jo zehreeli hawa aa rahi hai, zehreeli gas aayi hai ho sakta hai kisi bagal ke mulk ne chhodi ho jo humse ghabraya hua hai. Mujhe lagta hai Pakistan ya China humse ghabraye huye hain. (It seems that the poisonous gas has been released by any of the neighbouring country. Pakistan and China are nervous, they are afraid of us now),” Vineet said.

Sharda also slammed Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal for putting the blame on stubble burning in Punjab and Haryana for the hazardous air condition in Delhi. Farmers, industries should not be blamed for Delhi’s condition, he said.
