'What About Haryana?' Punjab Minister's Retort On Delhi Pollution Blame

Punjab minister's retort on Delhi pollution blame signals interstate political friction.

What happened: Punjab Finance Minister questioned BJP's focus on AAP-ruled Punjab as Delhi's AQI neared the "severe" level. BJP MP Manoj Tiwari asked whether farm fires are a "conspiracy to ruin Diwali." Why it matters: The exchange shows a political dispute over blame for Delhi pollution between BJP and AAP, with farm fires and Haryana raised as points of contention.
