DMK Rajya Sabha MP Kanimozhi flayed the State government on Sunday, saying it lacks self-respect and pride. She cited the recent “snubbing” of Chief Minister Edappadi K. Palaniswami by Prime Minister Narendra Modi over the Cauvery issue.
Speaking to the media in Thanjavur on the sidelines of the district-level deliberations organised by the DMK’s Women’s Wing, Ms. Kanimozhi pointed out that while Prime Minister Narendra Modi was refusing to meet Mr. Palaniswami to discuss the issue, the ruling AIADMK, bereft of self-respect, was clinging on to power by rolling out the red carpet to the Prime Minister when the whole Opposition showed him black flags condemning the ‘betrayal’ of Tamil Nadu’s interests.
In future, NEET should either be scrapped altogether or proper alternative arrangement must be arrived at, Ms. Kanimozhi said, saying this was the official position of the DMK. Medical aspirants must not be harassed unnecessarily, she insisted.
