The political blame game over Delhi's worsening air pollution has intensified, with Delhi Minister Kapil Mishra accusing the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) of orchestrating a conspiracy to defame the Delhi government and Diwali celebrations. Mishra alleged that stubble burning was deliberately carried out in Punjab to worsen air quality in the national capital. Citing an AQI reading of 1,611 in Sangrur, he questioned pollution levels in Punjab and demanded that the call records of AAP leaders be examined. These remain allegations made by the minister.
