This is blatant injustice. I demand from the central government that the GST imposed on air and water purifiers be immediately removed. If you can’t provide solutions, at least stop burdening the public’s pockets.”The AAP leader also highlighted the hardships faced by citizens due to worsening air quality.”Clean air and clean water are the basic rights of every citizen. In Delhi and North India, the air has become deadly, and instead of providing solutions, the government is collecting taxes from the public,” his post read.
