The AIADMK’s general secretary Edappadi K. Palaniswami and the party’s former coordinator, O. Panneerselvam, on Tuesday opposed the proposed common counselling for admission to medical courses.
In separate statements, the two leaders expressed their criticism of the proposed move on the ground that this would encroach upon State autonomy. Calling for a rollback on this decision, Mr. Palaniswami said his party had never supported any law that would take away the rights of Tamil Nadu while Mr. Panneerselvam expressed the apprehension that the reservation policy, being implemented by the State government, might not be implemented if the common counselling were to take place.
