Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin on Sunday asserted that the goal of exemption from the ambit of NEET would be accomplished with the support of the people, irrespective of the position taken by those in authority. He also said the government was forced to oppose NExT like NEET..
“The Union government has undertaken an arbitrary step to take over the admission of students to medical seats in the single window system, which is under the control of the State government. This conference is being held against the actions of the BJP government, which is acting against the State’s rights and medical infrastructure. This is not only your protest. But, ours! Tamil Nadu’s! A protest for State rights!” Mr. Stalin said.
Delivering his virtual address in a State-level function of Doctors Association for Social Equality, Mr. Stalin said: “Our goal of exemption from NEET would be accomplished with the support of the people, irrespective of those in authority claiming that the NEET cannot be cancelled.” The State government would continue to take steps for getting an exemption from NEET, asserting State’s rights in medical education and in transferring Education to the State List, he said.
