Law Minister C.Ve. Shanmugam on Tuesday said that the law on internal reservation of 10.5% for Vanniakula Kshatriya was “permanent”.
Responding to an interview of AIADMK leader and Deputy Chief Minister O. Panneerselvam on the issue published on March 30 in the The Hindu , Mr. Shanmugam said, “A law is a law. There is no provisional or temporary law. A law can only be repealed only with the Assembly’s approval.”
