Gautam Gambhir, former cricketer and BJP MP explains why he missed the Parliamentary Standing Committee of Urban Development meeting, over air pollution in Delhi, on 15 November: "I know the meeting was very important but I was contractually bound. I had signed the contract in January and I joined politics in April. Due to contractual obligation, I had to go for the commentary. On 11th November I received the mail and on the same day, I had informed them the reason for not attending the meeting."
