The AAP on Thursday condemned the Delhi government's decision to introduce an ordinance on school fee regulation, alleging it bypasses traditional legislative processes and lacks public consultation. Opposition Leader Atishi claimed it may lead to increased fees rather than regulation.
Atishi criticized the alleged lack of transparency, with the bill remaining unseen by parents, lawyers, and even MLAs. She accused Education Minister Ashish Sood of favoring private schools by avoiding an assembly debate.
Demanding a special assembly session, Atishi urged a transparent legislative process before implementing the measure. The BJP-led government, however, believes the ordinance will provide relief from arbitrary fee hikes.
