The protest went on for about half an hour before the police showed up and started arresting people. Some protestors said they weren’t getting a chance to protest in peace and were being kicked out.
Delhi AAP head honcho Saurabh Bharadwaj said that pollution’s been a problem for ages. But he did say it’s a big deal that smart people are hitting the streets, meaning they don’t trust the government to fix anything.
Bharadwaj also said the BJP government is messing with the pollution numbers. He said they stop collecting data from the air quality centers when the pollution gets bad.
