Air pollution debate row: Congress slams Centre, government blames Opposition conduct

New Delhi: The government on Friday accused the Opposition of "stalling" the debate in Parliament on air pollution, alleging that some MPs displayed "unacceptable behaviour" during the discussion on the rural jobs guarantee Bill and conveyed that they did not want any discussion on the health hazards in the national capital.

Addressing a press conference, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju termed the session "very productive", noting that eight Bills were passed after debates in both Houses. He said the legislations would "speed up" the 'Reform Express' flagged off by the government to bring changes to the lives of the common people.-OPB
