Chandigarh: Punjab CM Capt. Amarinder Singh has ruled out a meeting with his Delhi counterpart, Arvind Kejriwal, to discuss the issue of air pollution resulting from crop burning, urging him to refrain from trying to politicise such a serious issue.

Responding to media reports triggered by Mr Kejriwal’s tweet, once again seeking a meeting with him, Capt. Singh said he failed to understand why the Delhi chief minister was trying to force his hand, knowing well that any such discussion would be meaningless and futile.
