After staging walkout, AIADMK members return when Bill is taken up for consideration
The Assembly witnessed camaraderie between members of the DMK and the principal Opposition party, the AIADMK, on Monday when The Tamil Nadu Admission to Undergraduate Medical Degree Courses Bill, 2021, was passed. Though the Leader of the Opposition, Edappadi K. Palaniswami, led AIADMK members on a walkout over the death of a student preparing for NEET, and they were not present in the House when the Bill was tabled, the members of the Opposition party returned to the House when it was taken up for consideration. When Mr. Palaniswami welcomed the Bill, Chief Minister M.K. Stalin thanked him. “When a resolution for Jallikattu was brought [in 2017], the DMK, though an Opposition party back then, supported it. Likewise, when Bills against NEET were brought [by the AIADMK government in 2017], the DMK, despite being in the Opposition, welcomed it,” Mr. Stalin said.
