another e.g Tamils will always be 2nd class citizens of Hindi'a,
The Supreme Court's eleventh-hour stay on the Madras High Court's directive to CBSE to set up additional NEET centres within Tamil Nadu has sparked massive outrage within the state.
The stay follows CBSE's move challenging the Madras High Court's order on April 27 ordering setting up of centres for the Tamil Nadu students who were allocated centres far away from home in Kerala, Karnataka and Rajasthan.
However, the regional CBSE office in Chennai said that 5,371 students from the state will have to write the examination from centres in Ernakulam. According to them, the students had chosed Ernakulam as their second or third choice. They were not willing to disclose how many students had been allotted to centres in Rajasthan or Karnataka.
However, Tamil Nadu is up-in-arms against the Supreme Court's stay. Reacting to the stay, several prominent figures within Tamil Nadu have taken to social media in protest.
Actor turned politician Kamal Haasan tweeted,"In this digital age, it is injustice to make Tamil students run to Kerala, Rajasthan for writing NEET. They can write from here, right? The government and administration should make arrangements for this.”
DMK spokesperson Saravanan Annadurai said, "Absolute shocker in the #NEET Centre issue in the Supreme Court. The order asking the students to travel thousands of kilometres to write an exam reeks of elitism. Who will bear the cost and inconvenience? Is that not the direct result of the incompetence of the CBSE which conducts it?”
Director Pa Ranjith accused the state government of being the Central Government's shadow for not being able to address the plight of NEET students who have to travel out of TN for the exams.
Despite the furore, NEET authorities have confirmed that no reallocation of centres would be done now as the exam is slated to be held within two days.
Note: The headline has been updated to reflect the conflicting claims made by CBSE officials.
