Stalin Demands NEET Abolition

MK Stalin, the president of the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK), has reiterated his demand for the abolition of the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET).

He stated that the DMK's campaign against the medical entrance examination would continue until it is scrapped.

Stalin shared a post by DMK leader TRB Rajaa, who said the party's campaign against NEET had been consistent and relentless.

Rajaa added that the DMK started the fight against NEET and would stay on course until it is abolished.

The DMK's remarks came amid ongoing protests in Delhi over alleged irregularities in the NEET-UG 2026 examination.

The Opposition is demanding the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan and a detailed discussion on the issue in the Parliament Monsoon session.

Stalin had earlier said that NEET had failed to fulfil its three principal promises of reducing students' burden, eliminating commercialisation, and improving standards.

He alleged that the examination had merely shifted the centre of learning from schools to coaching centres.

The problem with NEET, according to Stalin, is structural, not merely procedural.

He called the ongoing student protests a wake-up call for the Union Government and urged it to trust the states and abolish NEET.

The DMK has opposed NEET from the very beginning, consistently pointing out the dangers it poses.

The party's protest against NEET is part of a larger movement, with other groups and individuals also demanding the abolition of the examination.

The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) has said its protest at Jantar Mantar would continue until the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan.

Activist Sonam Wangchuk ended his 26-day hunger strike after receiving a written assurance from the Union Government on the NEET examination issue and systemic reforms.

The protests against NEET are a significant development in the ongoing debate about the examination's effectiveness and fairness.

The DMK's campaign against NEET is likely to continue, with the party pushing for the abolition of the examination.

The issue of NEET has sparked a nationwide debate, with many arguing that it is unfair and biased towards certain groups.

The DMK's stance on NEET is likely to resonate with many who are opposed to the examination.

In conclusion, the DMK's demand for the abolition of NEET is a significant development in the ongoing debate about the examination's effectiveness and fairness.

The party's campaign against NEET is likely to continue, with the DMK pushing for the abolition of the examination.

The outcome of the protests and the DMK's campaign against NEET remains to be seen.

However, one thing is certain - the issue of NEET has sparked a nationwide debate, and it will be interesting to see how it unfolds in the coming days and weeks.
