Overview

  • AAP kicked off pamphlet drives outside schools across Delhi and said its student wing will take the protest to school gates citywide.
  • A video shared by AAP leaders shows Education Minister Ashish Sood telling a parent at a Janakpuri town hall, “If you want to leave, then leave.”
  • The party argues the new law enables arbitrary fee hikes and includes no provision to roll back increases implemented on April 1.
  • AAP leaders allege the law was passed without public consultation, concentrates power with top officials, and sets a 15% parent threshold that makes complaints hard to file.
  • Leaders say their proposed Assembly amendments were rejected, while parents continue to demand audited finances, fair PTA/PDA elections, and accessible grievance routes.
