The Tamil Nadu Assembly has adopted a resolution seeking the abolition of NEET for undergraduate medical courses. The resolution was opposed by BJP MLA M. Bhojarajan, who staged a walkout before the voting. In a separate resolution, the Assembly urged the Union government to withdraw the FCRA Amendment Bill in its present form and undertake comprehensive consultations with all stakeholders.
During the same session, two former AIADMK leaders, K.A. Sengottaiyan and O. Panneerselvam, traded barbs over their recent changes in political allegiance. The exchange, which also referenced leaders' photographs kept in shirt pockets, saw Sengottaiyan tell Panneerselvam that shifting alliances did not mean he should sing praises for his new leader. The two were once in the AIADMK.
