Islamabad: Pakistan's Science and Technology Minister Fawad Chaudhary on Wednesday blamed India for the rising levels of pollution in Lahore. Chaudhary quoted his country's climate change minister on Twitter as saying that pollution levels were rising in Lahore due to India's poor environment and stubble burning in the fields.
Choudhary wrote on Twitter- "The pollution level in Wagah is double that of Lahore. Modi government has failed on every front. The irresponsible government is a curse." The technology minister's statement comes as Lahore ranks second among the world's most polluted cities in the new ranking of the World Air Quality Index (AQI).
Twitter users said,- take some responsibility yourself.
On Twitter, users also blamed the minister for the pollution in Lahore. One user wrote- "Take some responsibility for God too." By picking up everything, justifying in the name of India, our breath will stop. Karachi also has poor pollution levels. Then you will say that India is sending pollution to us through the sea. "
