Health Minister Ma. Subramanian on Tuesday told the Legislative Assembly that an order of the Supreme Court had come in the way of providing internship [CRMI] in Indian medical colleges to students who had studied medicine in China and the Philippines.
Responding to Tamizhaga Vazhvurimai Katchi founder ‘Panruti’ Velmurugan, who raised the issue of internships, the Minister said Chief Minister M.K. Stalin had not only written to the Centre, but also had taken up the issue with Prime Minister Narendra Modi during his recent visit to New Delhi. These students were denied internship since they studied medical courses online from the two countries.
