New Delhi/IBNS: The Aam Aadmi Party on Friday attacked BJP MP and former cricketer Gautam Gambhir for skipping the Parliamentary meeting on pollution trouble in Delhi.

Gautam is currently busy with his commentary job for a TV channel during the ongoing Test match between India and Bangladesh in Indore.

"Instead of sitting in commentary box and enjoying...We challenge @GautamGambhir to stop playing blame games over pollution and ATTEND MEETINGS ON AIR POLLUTION which he skipped Contempt of Court! Strict action should be taken against all absentees!  #ShameOnGautamGambhir," the AAP tweeted.

A hashtag #ShameOnGautamGambhir is also trending on Twitter.

Ex-Indian cricketer and fellow commentator of Gautam Gambhir, VVS Laxman earlier in the day shared images were the duo could be seen cherishing their breakfast amid commentator's job.

Laxman tweeted: "Kabhi pohe se teekhe, kabhi jalebi se meethe ... wonderful start to the day in Indoor, where we had breakfast outdoor."

Meanwhile, only four MPs, out of 29 in the list, attended the crucial meeting on the pollution issue, media reports said.

Recently, Gautam had attacked the Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal over the issue of pollution.

Environment Minister Prakash Javadekar has said that will investigate and take the necessary action, reported NDTV.

The parliamentary committee that called the meeting has taken strong objection to their absence and will take up the matter with the Lok Sabha speaker, the head of the committee told NDTV.
