Tamil Nadu health minister KG Arunraj on Tuesday moved a resolution in the state Assembly seeking the abolition of the National Eligibility cm Entrance Test (NEET), with the DMK, AIADMK, Left parties and PMK supporting the move. The lone BJP MLA staged a walkout during the proceedings.
Moving the resolution, Arunraj said NEET was against social justice, equality and the rights of states. He said the examination had undermined medical education opportunities for students from rural and socio-economically disadvantaged backgrounds.
