  "account": "The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) announced that three sets of questions regarding their youth protests were rejected by the Lok Sabha during the Monsoon Session, according to spokesperson Saurav Das. These questions inquired about issues like refunds for NEET-UG 2026 application fees, public distrust in the government, drinking water, sanitation facilities for protesters in Delhi, government engagement with protesting students, student welfare, paper leaks, education reforms, and the treatment of citizens exercising their right to peaceful protest. The Lok Sabha MP Matheswaran V.S. submitted these questions to the Union Home and Education Ministries. The disallowance of these questions occurred under Rule 41(2) of the Lok Sabha Rules of Procedure and Conduct of Business, citing various clauses. Matheswaran V.S. expressed concern over the bizarre justifications provided for denying the questions, questioning the government's accountability in handling the protests. He also highlighted the importance of the right of MPs to question the executive, emphasizing that it is central to parliamentary democracy.",
