CJP says Lok Sabha disallowed 3 sets of questions on youth protests

CJP says Lok Sabha disallowed 3 sets of questions on youth protests

Three sets of questions regarding the youth protests led by the Cockroach Janta Party were rejected by the Lok Sabha during the recent Monsoon Session, according to CJP chief spokesperson Saurav Das. Matheswaran V.S., a DMK MP, had submitted the questions to the Home and Education Ministries, seeking information on topics like NEET-UG 2026 application fees, government transparency, water and sanitation facilities for protestors, student welfare, and education reforms.

The questions were dismissed under Lok Sabha Rule 41(2), citing specific conditions for admissibility. Das questioned the government's ability to hold itself accountable if such questions were not permitted in Parliament. He argued that the right of MPs to question the executive is crucial to parliamentary democracy, emphasizing that the dismissal of the questions stifles democratic discourse.
