Three sets of questions concerning the Cockroach Janta Party -led youth protests were disallowed during the recent Monsoon Session of Parliament, citing admissibility conditions, CJP chief spokesperson Saurav Das said on Sunday (August 17, 2026), criticising the decision.
In a post on X, Mr. Mr. “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? Mr. “You can’t gag the Parliament and make it a rubber stamp for your half-baked policies. You cannot ignore the youth. This is not our idea of India! Mr. The CJP later called off its agitation after the government accepted its demands, including the resignation of Dharmendra Pradhan from the post of education minister.
Das said Lok Sabha MP Matheswaran V.S. of the DMK had sought answers from the Union Home Ministry and the Union Education Ministry through three sets of questions, bearing notice reference numbers 101799 and 101801. The questions sought information on the refund of application fees for NEET-UG 2026, growing public distrust in the government, denial of drinking water and sanitation facilities to CJP protesters in Delhi, the government’s engagement with protesting students and youth, student welfare, paper leaks and education reforms, and the treatment of citizens exercising their fundamental right to peaceful protest, Mr. Das said the questions were disallowed citing Rule 41(2), including clauses (i), (iv), (v), (xviii) and (xxii).
Das said. But “very bizarre justifications” were given for rejecting “perfectly legitimate questions”, he said.
