Member of Parliament Chandrashekhar Azad questioned the government regarding the use of police force against protesters opposing the NEET exam in Delhi [1].
The confrontation between law enforcement and students highlights growing tensions over the administration of national medical entrance exams and the state's response to student dissent.
Azad, who serves as the president of the Azad Samaj Party-Kanshiram, spoke on July 24, 2026 [1]. He asked what message the government intended to send by deploying police force against those protesting the exam's conduct [1].
The lawmaker emphasized the need for accountability regarding the treatment of the demonstrators. "If any incident occurs anywhere, responsibility is ensured... What happened to the protesters in Delhi is in front of everyone," Azad said [1].
According to reports, the police action took place during demonstrations centered on the NEET exam [1]. Azad said that the visibility of the police response in the capital makes the government's intentions clear to the public [1].
The MP's inquiry focuses on the justification for the force used and whether such actions serve as a deterrent for future academic protests. He said that the government must be held responsible for any incidents resulting from the police deployment [1].
“"What happened to the protesters in Delhi is in front of everyone."”
This challenge by a Member of Parliament brings legislative scrutiny to the police tactics used during student-led protests. By questioning the 'message' sent by the state, Azad is framing the police response not as a matter of crowd control, but as a political signal regarding the government's tolerance for dissent over educational policy.
