Stalin led meet resolves to again send NEET Exemption Bill to Tamil Nadu Governor
India Today
Chaired by CM MK Stalin, the meeting unanimously passed a resolution to convene a special sitting of the Tamil Nadu Assembly and get that Bill adopted again and send it to the Governor RN Ravi.
Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M K Stalin on Saturday accused Governor R N Ravi of not doing his Constitutional duty of immediately forwarding the state's anti-NEET Bill to the Centre for getting Presidential assent.
Led by Stalin, a meeting of parties that have representation in the State Assembly unanimously resolved to send again the Bill to bypass the national test in Tamil Nadu to Governor Ravi to get approval from the President.
Both the AIADMK and BJP did not take part in the meeting.
In a tweet, Stalin said that Tamil Nadu would for sure emerge victorious in its war against the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test by taking on its 'foes' and 'betrayers.' NEET is just one manifestation of several efforts aimed at 'closing' the doors of education opened up to the oppressed people following a century of struggle, he said.
The meeting, chaired by Stalin at the Secretariat, unanimously passed a resolution to convene a special sitting of the Assembly and get that Bill adopted again and send it to the Governor to forward it to the central government to get Presidential assent. Hours after the resolution, Assembly Secretary K Srinivasan said in an official release that the Assembly's special meet for the purpose would be on February 8 at 10 AM.
In his address, Stalin said the Governor should have immediately forwarded the Bill to the President to get his assent. However, the Governor did not do his Constitutional duty, the Chief Minister alleged. Hence, Stalin said he visited Ravi on November 27, 2021 and urged him to send the Bill to the Centre.
