CJP criticizes Union government for rejecting NEET questions in Parliament
Citizens for Justice and Peace (CJP) has called out the Union government for refusing to answer questions in Parliament about the recent NEET protests.
Tamil Nadu Member of Parliament Matheswaran VS had asked about fee refunds, poor conditions for student protesters at Jantar Mantar, and growing public distrust in the government, but all three sets of questions were rejected.
CJP says this move shuts down important conversations around student welfare, paper leaks, education reforms, and the treatment of citizens exercising their fundamental right to peaceful protest.
CJP's Saurav Das calls rejections unsupported
CJP's chief spokesperson Saurav Das said the rejection was unsupported, saying MPs deserve answers on issues that matter to young people.
He also questioned why Union home minister Amit Shah was absent during discussions on police action against peaceful protesters, and pointed out that basic needs like water and sanitation weren't provided at protest sites.
The weekslong protests ended only after talks with the government and the resignation of Union education minister Dharmendra Pradhan.
