Opposing the hike in examination fees for students in colleges affiliated to Bharathidasan University, AIADMK coordinator O. Panneerselvam on Sunday urged the Chief Minister to roll it back.
Considering the humble background of the students and in view of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the government should rollback the fee hike and should also prevent other universities from taking such step, he said in a statement.
The DMK had promised to waive educational loans of students below 30 years of age. It not only failed to fulfill the promise but also increased the exam fee, the former Chief Minister said and claimed that the DMK government was rubbing salt to the wound.
