The party demanded that instead of introducing complaint redressal forum for parents through amendments to the Delhi School Education Act, 1973, a law should be brought in which will enable government to regulate fees ending woes of public.
"The draft amendments proposed by government is mere eyewash. The way parents are being looted, exploited, is of serious concern. The government has failed to address the issue over the past four months and now it is trying to do a face-saving act.
Gupta, who is also the president of a parents' body, Delhi Abhibhavak Sangh, said setting up a complaint redressal forum will mean taking note of only those cases in which parents register grievances, while in the rest cases, even if there is exploitation taking places, schools will go scot-free, making the exercise futile.
"They are not going to regulate fees, but rather are asking parents to complain. For example, if there are 2,000 schools in Delhi and all of them are fleecing parents, the government plans to take action only in those cases in which parents complain. So, the rest of the schools will go scot-free," he explained.
"If the government itself decides to regulate fee structure through such committee, there won't be any exploitation of parents. Subsequently, there will be no need to amend the law," he said.
