  • Parents hoped for a parliamentary debate on pollution during the winter session.
  • Despite preparations and accepted notices, the Lok Sabha adjourned, and the debate failed.
  • Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju blamed Congress; Congress refuted the charge.
  • Opposition parties prioritized other issues like the G Ram G Bill over the pollution debate.
