Leader of Opposition in the Delhi Assembly, Atishi, claimed that the BJP was attempting to sneak in the Fee Regulation Bill via an ordinance, bypassing the legislative process. She demanded that the bill be introduced in the Assembly, referred to a Select Committee and passed only after incorporating feedback from parents. Atishi expressed concern over the secrecy surrounding the bill, accusing the BJP of shielding private schools rather than supporting parents.
