The Tamil Nadu government has prepared a six-point response to the queries raised by the Union government on the anti-NEET Bill, passed by the State legislature.
The Bill was passed unanimously on September 13, 2021. Since it was returned by the Governor, the legislature passed the Bill again on February 8 this year. The Union Home Ministry sent the Bill to the Health Ministry and the AYUSH Ministry for its response, which, in turn, had raised a set of queries. The queries were forwarded by the Governor’s office on July 5.
On Friday, the Health Minister Ma. Subramanian shared the State’s responses to the queries and said that they would be sent to the Governor, after perusal by the State’s legal experts. “We will emphasise that the Governor forward it to the [next] President for assent. She hails from a marginalised community, we are sure she will concur with our reasoning,” he said.
