The resolution seeking exemption for Tamil Nadu from the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) has been declined by the President, Chief Minister MK Stalin told the Assembly on Friday.
Nevertheless, the state would continue its struggle to abolish the NEET, he said and announced that an all-political party meeting has been convened on April 9, in this regard, according to a PTI report.
Stalin informed the House on the latest development by terming the rejection as a “dark chapter in federalism”, and accused the Centre of disregarding the will of Tamil Nadu people and the Assembly bill, too.
“Despite the Tamil Nadu government furnishing all necessary clarifications through various ministries, the Union government has now rejected the exemption from NEET,” Stalin said.
