The Supreme Court on Tuesday, January 2, 2024 refused to intervene against a students’ signature campaign announced by the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK), the ruling party of Tamil Nadu, against the conduct of NEET in the State, saying the current generation is smart enough to see through the motive and agenda behind such moves.
“Fortunately, we now have a very informed generation. Our children are not so innocent. They understand everything and are far ahead of our generation. They understand the motive, the agenda and how it all happens,” Justice Surya Kant, heading a Bench also comprising Justice K.V. Viswanathan, observed orally.
Advocate M.L. Ravi, president of Desiya Makkal Sakthi Katchi and petitioner, said this was a case of the “ruling party taking advantage of children politically”.
