Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) co-convenor Saurav Das on Sunday raised concerns over parliamentary accountability after three sets of questions regarding student protests and the NEET-UG 2026 examination were disallowed during the recently concluded Lok Sabha session on the Union government’s recommendation.
101799 and 101801),” he said. The disallowed questions aimed to address critical issues including refunds for NEET-UG 2026 candidates, paper leak concerns, denial of basic amenities like water to protesters in Delhi, and the government’s handling of peaceful youth demonstrations. “Look at what Parliament was being asked to seek answers on: 1. Refund of application fees for NEET-UG 2026 2. Growing public distrust in the government 3. Denial of drinking water and sanitation facilities to CJP protesters in Delhi 4. The government’s engagement with protesting students and youth 5. Student welfare, paper leaks and education reforms 6. The treatment of citizens exercising their fundamental right to peaceful protest Yet, these questions were disallowed citing Rule 41(2), including clauses (i), (iv), (v), (xviii) and (xxii). The protests continued for several weeks at Delhi’s Jantar Mantar before the organisation announced the withdrawal of its nationwide agitation on July 25 following negotiations and developments involving the government.
Very bizarre justifications for perfectly legitimate questions,” said the CJP leader. In a post on X, Das emphasised that Question Hour serves as a fundamental pillar of democratic governance, questioning why Home Minister Amit Shah did not address Parliament directly regarding police actions during the weeks of protest. “ALARMING. During the recently concluded Lok Sabha session, three sets of questions concerning the Cockroach Janta Party-led youth protests were DISALLOWED on the Union government’s behest. Lok Sabha MP Matheswaran V.S. had sought answers from the Union Home Ministry and the Union Education Ministry through three sets of questions (Notice Reference Nos. “If these questions cannot be asked in Parliament, where exactly is the Government supposed to be held accountable? Through protests? Why did Home Minister Amit Shah not come before Parliament during those crucial weeks and answer questions concerning the police action against protesters?” he added. The agitation gained significant attention after the CJP demanded accountability over alleged examination irregularities and called for the resignation of then Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan. The controversy comes at a time when the CJP continues to position itself as a youth-focused movement challenging the government’s handling of education, examinations and the treatment of protesters.
Das has previously rejected government invitations for talks at a minister’s residence, arguing that discussions should take place at a neutral public venue.
