DMK launches anti-NEET campaign

Udhayanidhi invites opposition party AIADMK to join the protest against entrance exam

- 

THE ruling DMK on Saturday launched a signature campaign seeking a ban on NEET and invited the principal opposition party in the state Assembly - the AIADMK - to be part of it.

“In the past, all political parties placed our demand on common issues together with the union government. Already, I invited the AIADMK to join the fight against NEET. Today I reiterate that. Be part of this signature campaign,” said Minister for Youth Welfare and Sports Development Udhayanidhi Stalin who is also the DMK’s youth wing secretary, while launching the signature campaign.

“When you were part of the BJP-led alliance, you (AIADMK) could not do anything. Now you are out of that alliance and you claim that you came out to protect the rights of Tamil Nadu. Since banning NEET is a common issue in Tamil Nadu, the AIADMK and others can be part of this signature campaign,” Udhayanidhi said.
