Stalin appeals to Governor again to send Bill against NEET for Presidential assent

Ahead of the Budget session of the State Legislative Assembly which is set to commence on March 18, Chief Minister M.K. Stalin called on Governor R.N. Ravi at the Raj Bhavan on Tuesday and reiterated his request for sending the Bill adopted by the House against NEET for the second time, for Presidential assent, at the earliest.

During the meeting, the Chief Minister referred to other Bills and files “pending for several months” with the Governor and pointed out that “by taking action on them, the honour of the Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly could be protected”, an official release from the government said. Moreover, the sentiments of the people could also be respected, it added.

At the end of the meeting, the Governor assured the Chief Minister that the Bill that seeks to provide Tamil Nadu an exemption from the ambit of the NEET, would be sent to the President soon, it said. The meeting assumes significance since the academic year 2022-23 is set to commence soon.
