‘Children understand their motive, agenda’: Supreme Court on DMK’s anti-NEET campaign
Lawyer ML Ravi earlier approached the Madras high court against the DMK campaign but withdrew the plea after the high court threatened to dismiss the petition with costs
Lawyer ML Ravi earlier approached the Madras high court against the DMK campaign but withdrew the plea after the high court threatened to dismiss the petition with costs.
As the bench dismissed the petition filed by a lawyer ML Ravi who wanted the court to bar the DMK from continuing its campaign that asked students to sign against the national-level entrance exams, Ravi said the campaign would adversely affect students preparing for the competitive test, a single window examination for admission to MBBS courses.
The bench of justices Surya Kant and KV Viswanathan told the petitioner that he needn’t worry: “We nowadays have a well-informed generation. They understand everything. Such campaigns against a national-level examination will not affect them.
“Our children are not so innocent. They are far ahead of our generation. Let those who want, campaign. They (students) understand everything what the motive and the agenda is.”
