CJP Leader Criticizes Rejection of Lok Sabha Questions on NEET-UG

Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) co-convenor Saurav Das has raised concerns after three sets of questions related to student protests and the NEET-UG 2026 examination were disallowed during the recently concluded Lok Sabha session, reportedly on the Union government’s recommendation. Das argued that Question Hour is central to democratic governance and questioned why Home Minister Amit Shah did not personally address Parliament on the police response to weeks of protest activity.

MP’s Questions Rejected Under Rule 41(2)

Lok Sabha MP Matheswaran V.S. had submitted questions to the Union Home Ministry and Education Ministry covering issues such as refunds for NEET-UG 2026 candidates, alleged paper leaks, and the denial of basic amenities like water to protesters in Delhi. Parliamentary authorities cited several clauses under Rule 41(2) in rejecting the queries, a decision Das described as relying on unconvincing grounds to shield the executive from scrutiny.

Protests Continued for Weeks Before Withdrawal

Das warned that when institutions decline to address public grievances through proper channels, citizens are pushed toward street protests instead. He said blocking MPs from questioning the executive weakens Parliament’s oversight role. The CJP had led a nationwide agitation since June over alleged examination irregularities, with protests concentrated at Delhi’s Jantar Mantar before the group withdrew its campaign on July 25 following talks with the government. The movement has since pushed for withdrawal of FIRs filed against demonstrators, rather than merely pausing related investigations.

The CJP’s claims reflect Das’s version of events; the actual grounds for disallowing the questions would need verification against the official parliamentary record and applicable procedural rules.
