The State Platform for Common School System - Tamil Nadu (SPCSS-TN) has urged Governor R.N. Ravi to forward for presidential assent the Bill passed unanimously by the Assembly last month to exempt the State from the National Eligibility-cum Entrance Test (NEET).
In a letter to the Governor on Saturday, SPCSS-TN general secretary P.B. Prince Gajendra Babu said there had been no information from the Raj Bhavan though it had been more than a month since the Bill was sent to the Governor for the second time. He pointed out that the Raj Bhavan took 135 days to return the Bill when it was sent to the Governor for the first time last year.
“Morally, legally and constitutionally, the Honourable Governor will be failing in his duty if the said Bill is kept in abeyance, just because the Constitution of India has not provided any time limit [for the Governor to decide on the matter],” the letter said.
