The government plans to consult with lawyers soon and take further action based on that.
A meeting of the Tamil Nadu Assembly party leaders was held at the Namakkal Poet’s House at the General Secretariat to discuss the cancellation of the ‘Need’ entrance examination for medical studies. Chief Minister Stalin presided over the meeting. Ministers Duraimurugan, Ponmudi, Subramanian; AIADMK, – Former Minister Vijayabaskar; Congress – Wealth; BJP, – Vanathi Srinivasan; P.M.K., – G.K.

Health Minister Subramaniam said the resolution was passed at an all-party meeting to hold a legal battle to get exemption from NEET exam.
Plucks
At the meeting, the Chief Minister said: We are all unanimous that NEET should not be chosen. This is the problem of Tamil Nadu students. It requires the concept that we are all united. In a country where there is inequality in the name of caste, it is difficult for everyone to get an education. That is why the entrance examination in Tamil Nadu was canceled; Presidential approval was also obtained. The approval of the Supreme Court was also obtained.
This right to education is taken away by NEET. We continue to oppose NEET, which will hinder the educational development of Tamil Nadu students. How can you accept the need to set up a two-hour exam called NEED, which is superior to education learned up to Plus 2; This is social injustice.
Paying millions, how many people can be trained to write the NEED exam; That is why when the DMK came to power, I first met the Prime Minister and demanded that Tamil Nadu be exempted from the NEET test. MPs also stressed in the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha.
Not sent
Next, we unanimously passed a bill in the Assembly on Sept. 13, exempting Tamil Nadu from the NEET test. But the governor does not send. When a law is passed in the legislature, it is the principle of democracy that the governor respects and approves it.
I went in person and urged the governor, but he did not send it to the president. We convened this meeting as a matter of urgency as the legislative power of the legislature was in question.Thus he spoke.
Snatched
Resolution passed at the meeting: Tamil Nadu is a pioneer in the field of medicine in India.
The federal government has stripped the state government of the right to decide how students should be admitted to medical colleges run by state governments, out of state funding. This is against state autonomy. The NEET exam is only for students who have access to specialized training.
The admission of medical students has created a situation where 12 years of schooling is of no use and has rendered the school education system itself meaningless. This NEET exam is set to shatter students’ educational dream and undermine the federal philosophy enshrined in the Constitution.
Therefore, to uphold the rights of the state and fulfill the medical dream of our students, the bill was passed unanimously in the Tamil Nadu Assembly. Sent to the Governor, for the approval of the President. Failure to send it to the Governor, President, is not in the best interests of the legislature.
Legal precedent
In the interest of Tamil Nadu students, the Chief Minister met directly with the Governor and asked him to send the NEED Bill to the President for approval. In this connection, on December 28, Tamil Nadu MPs went to meet the President. Unable to meet him, they petitioned his office. The petition was reportedly sent to the Union Home Ministry that evening.
To stress further on this, he sought time to meet the Union Home Minister and refused to meet for several days. So, given in his office. The Union Home Minister refused to meet Tamil Nadu MPs, which is against democratic norms.
Do not agree
All the political parties in the Tamil Nadu Assembly will work together to consider the request already made to the Union Home Minister and meet on behalf of all parties if invited to do so.
We will make all necessary efforts to build a consensus so that other states will realize the disadvantages of NEET selection.
Speaking on behalf of the BJP, Vanathi Srinivasan walked out, saying, “I do not agree with the resolution brought on behalf of all parties.” Others pledged their full cooperation in the actions taken by the government.
