‘Can't gag Parliament or ignore youth’: CJP's Saurav Das slams disallowing of questions on NEET protests in Lok Sabha
CJP's chief spokesperson Saurav Das claimed that the three sets of questions had been blocked “at the behest of the Union government”.
CJP chief spokesperson Saurav Das slammed the disallowing of questions related to the NEET and students' protests in the Lok Sabha, claiming the questions were "perfectly legitimate". Das alleged that the three sets of questions were blocked "at the behest of the Union government", with concerns over NEET application fees refund, denial of basic amenities to CJP protesters during the Jantar Mantar agitation, and questions about the government's accountability.
He questioned why Home Minister Amit Shah did not come to Parliament during those crucial weeks to answer the government's actions against protesters. Das asked where the government should be held accountable if not in Parliament, suggesting protests were not the answer. The questions were raised after CJP-led protests over NEET irregularities and calls for Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation as education minister.
Das said the Lok Sabha MP Matheswaran VS, a Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam representative from Namakkal in Tamil Nadu, had sought answers through three sets of questions related to NEET-UG 2026 refund, public distrust, denial of drinking water and sanitation facilities, government engagement with protesting students, student welfare, paper leaks, education reforms, and treatment of citizens exercising their fundamental right to peaceful protest.
He claimed the questions had been blocked under Rule 41(2), with bizarre justifications given for rejecting "perfectly legitimate questions".
