Chennai: There are reports in the media that the Governor has decided to send the NEET exemption bill to the President. Chief Minister MK Stalin told the legislature that he would look into the matter and, if necessary, convene an all-party meeting to discuss the next steps. On the Governor’s issue, Chief Minister MK Stalin addressed the Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly under Rule 110: The bill seeking an exemption for NEET, which reflects the overall sentiment of seven and a half crore Tamils, has been stalled at the Governor’s House premises in Guindy for the past 210 days. The bill, which was passed unanimously by the century-old Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly, is lying unattended at the Governor’s House in Guindy.
At such a juncture, the government was unable to attend the tea party, which was to be held at the same Governor’s premises, as it would offend the sentiments of the people of Tamil Nadu as a whole and further tarnish the image of the Assembly. I myself have written a letter to the Governor in this regard. It has all the details given in detail. We have no personal animosity with the governor. In other words, I personally have a very cordial relationship with the Governor of Tamil Nadu and the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu. Speaking in person, he has spoken highly of the actions of this regime.
In public, the governor has spoken highly of the way we govern. It’s all over the media. The governor is much sweeter to practice. He gives us more respect. As Governor, we also have the honor of holding that office; We are giving; We will continue to provide. It is a culture that transcends political boundaries. We must all protect this culture at all times and in all circumstances; Let’s save.
Respecting the prestige of this Assembly and the sentiment of the people of Tamil Nadu, the Governor-Governor should have sent the NEET Exemption Bill. It is not proper to send it like that. Is antithetical to the dignity of this House. It is not for me that the Governor did not send; This is an act that may insult the people of Tamil Nadu. All I can say to this House – all I want to say is that I have experienced many pains and humiliations in public life over the last 50 years. It’s not a bar for me. All I have been taught in these 50 years of public life is to put aside pain, humiliation, praise and praise and act as “my duty, to do my work.” That’s how I operate.
“The chief duty is to act in the public interest for the good of the people” is the lesson I can learn from the way of Grandfather Anna, the leader of the Muthamizharinjar artist. That’s the way I’m going. But depending on the pain and humiliation that is personally available to me, so if there is any benefit for Tamil Nadu and the people of Tamil Nadu, I will always be ready to put aside the praise and praise and endure the humiliation and pain.
It is important to send to the President a draft of the NEET Exemption Bill which may be the overall sentiment of the people of Tamil Nadu. That is why this decision was made. Therefore, I will continue to strive for the benefit of the people of Tamil Nadu, putting aside all respect and praise for an individual. I had to take this decision because I, as the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, understood that it was my responsibility to protect the dignity of this Assembly and the Centenary Assembly. We will continue to echo the sentiments of the people of Tamil Nadu in all forums. We will assert their rights.
The Bill, which was returned by the Governor, was passed in a special session of this Legislature on 8-2-2022, and we sent it back to the Governor. Today is 70 days. In this context, there are reports in the media that the Governor has decided to send the NEET Exemption Bill to the President. I would like to inform this House that it will look into the activities related to it and, if necessary, convene an all-party meeting to discuss and decide on the next steps. Thus spoke Chief Minister MK Stalin.
