Fee Dispute Ignites Political Row: AAP and BJP Clash over Student Rights

A fee-related dispute at a Saket private school has sparked political tensions between the AAP and BJP, with concerns over student roll numbers for CBSE exams. AAP accuses schools of pressuring parents, while BJP points to longstanding legal battles and assures no exam disruptions.

A dispute over school fees at a private institution in Saket has ignited a political confrontation between the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). Parents are worried about delays in receiving roll numbers needed for their children to appear in upcoming CBSE board exams.

AAP leader Saurabh Bharadwaj claims that certain private schools are pressuring parents on fee issues, risking students' exam readiness. Bharadwaj urges swift action from the Delhi government to ensure timely issuance of necessary documents, criticizing the schools' actions at a pivotal academic moment.

In response, Delhi BJP President Virendra Sachdeva attributes the delay to historical court cases stemming from the Covid-19 period, asserting the current BJP government is not at fault. He reassures parents that no student will be barred from exams, referencing stricter Delhi education laws meant to prevent such occurrences.
