Following the remarks by Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud, who revealed that he had to halt his morning walks due to the rising air pollution in Delhi, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla strongly criticised the city’s current situation, describing it as a "gas chamber filled with poisonous air."

In a self-recorded video shared on social media, Poonawalla commented on the alarming situation, stating, “News has surfaced that CJI DY Chandrachud has stopped his morning walk due to the rising pollution levels. Delhi has essentially become a gas chamber, with toxic air all around. You can’t even go for a walk without wearing a mask.”
