CM Stalin of Tamil Nadu responds to suicides linked to NEET

Following the purported suicide of a medical student, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin fervently pleaded with NEET applicants to not harbor any suicidal thoughts and to approach life with confidence.

When a political shift occurs in a few months, according to Stalin, the hurdles for NEETs will crumble.

 

The Tamil Nadu Governor’s comments against the state’s anti-NEET law are presumably what the Chief Minister was alluding to when he remarked, “Then, all those who say ‘I will not sign’ will disappear.”

 

My sincere sympathies are sent on the passing of the pupil Jagatheeswaran and his father Selvasekhar (who is also believed to have committed himself). Let their demises be the last sacrifices made to NEET, Stalin said in a proclamation.

 

The Chief Minister said he was at a loss for words after the recent passing of medical aspirant Jagatheeswaran, a student from Chromepet in the city who tried in vain to pass the entrance exam.

 

The next day, Jagatheeswaran’s father Selvasekhar also committed himself. The Chief Minister remarked, “I don’t know how to comfort his family and friends.

 

His parents hoped that their bright kid would become a doctor of medicine. Jagadeeswaran, however, “has joined the list of victims on the altar of NEET exam, which is the most gruesome incident,” he said. In the state, there have been several suicides in recent years that have allegedly been caused by NEET.

 

“I make the plea that under no circumstances should a student ever decide to end their own life. The NEET, a roadblock to your development, will be eliminated. According to Stalin’s comment, the state administration is actively working on the legal effort in this direction.

 

He cited the Assembly resolutions that demanded NEET exemption for Tennessee and said that the Governor forwarded the second resolution to the President for approval while returning the first.

 

“It seems as if Governor Ravi wants to table the measure. The Chief Minister said that the cost of the NEET test had increased and that only the wealthy could afford it.

 

He said that people who could not afford to pay large amounts of money to attend school failed the test and that a scenario has developed in which only those who pass the NEET exam may enroll in a medical college if they have money, proving that a medical education is only available to those who can afford it.

 

Nevertheless, the state government implemented a 7.5 percent reserve for low-income kids attending government schools who want to attend medical universities. The Governor, however, will not comprehend. There is some question as to whether he is operating as the coaching centers’ puppet, according to Stalin.

 

The Chief Minister accused Ravi of “conducting classes” in the Raj Bhavan by inviting children and said the Governor “displayed his ignorance” by saying he would not sign the NEET exemption bill, a topic brought up by a Salem student’s parent at a meeting on Saturday.

 

“The law is not awaiting his approval. The President is in charge of it. Governor is creating the idea that he has power, but in reality, he has none in this regard. Governor R. N. Ravi’s heart won’t melt no matter how many people die like Jagadeeswaran. In the days of such hardhearted individuals, human life has no value, Stalin stated, expressing his sincere sympathies to the grieving family of Jagatheeswaran and his father Selvasekhar.

 

“Let their demise be the last sacrifice made to NEET. Your future is bright, students. Own your confidence. Live your life and let others live theirs. Again, I implore you: Please do not harbor suicide thoughts, the chief minister urged.

 

Police claim that while Jagatheeswaran, 19, is believed to have committed suicide late on Sunday after reportedly dying by hanging on Saturday. Also by hanging, he passed away.
