DMK and Congress MPs held a protest and staged a walkout from the Rajya Sabha after their demand to debate the Tamil Nadu Governor R.N. Ravi’s move to return the NEET exemption bill passed by the Tamil Nadu Assembly, was rejected by Chairman Venkaiah Naidu.
DMK floor leader Tiruchi Siva, demanded that under Rule 267 of the Rajya Sabha the business of the day should be suspended to discuss the Mr Ravi’s conduct. Returning the bill after keeping it with him for months, was an insulted to the elected members of the state assembly, he said. Mr Siva also said that this is blatant attack on federalism where a governor appointed by the union government is undermining the state legislature.
