AAP leader Anurag Dhanda criticised the BJP over its remarks on Punjab and the issue of air pollution, alleging that the state was being unfairly blamed while Delhi continued to face poor air quality. In a post on X, Dhanda targeted Delhi BJP leader Manjinder Singh Sirsa, accusing him of repeatedly criticising Punjab instead of focusing on pollution in the national capital.

Dhanda said that the sky over Punjab was clear while Delhi was experiencing a pollution crisis. He urged the BJP to concentrate on addressing air pollution rather than making statements that, according to him, tarnish Punjab’s image.

Delhi’s Air Quality
The remarks come amid continuing political exchanges over air pollution and its causes, including the contribution of stubble burning in neighbouring states. The issue has frequently led to disagreements between political parties over responsibility and the measures required to improve air quality in the National Capital Region.
Meanwhile, a social media post by Simar (@Simar_999), dated November 2, shared a positive glimpse of rural Punjab while referring to the ongoing visit of Rory Porter. The post described the experience as an authentic representation of Punjab, highlighting its everyday rural atmosphere without elaborate filters or artificial presentation.
Together, the posts brought attention to two contrasting conversations around Punjab: the political debate over pollution and the portrayal of the state’s rural landscape and everyday life.
