TVK chief and actor Vijay, on Thursday, sent a bold message to the Modi government and demanded that the NEET exam be revoked. Vijay was speaking at the party rally in Madurai.
"Due of your stubbornness, you continue to impose the NEET exam, and it pains me to even speak about what is happening here because of it. NEET must be abolished. Will you do this? You will never give us what we want or do what is right for us." " Revoke NEET! Can you do it, Narendra Modi avargal?" he said.
"TVK is not a party that makes underground deals, forges alliances, and cheats the people. We are not afraid of anyone. The people of Tamil Nadu, the women and the youth stand with us," he further said. He also accused DMK of having a secret alliance with the BJP.
"DMK has a secret alliance with the BJP, but does drama as if they are opposing the BJP," Vijay was heard saying. Vijay further brought up the topic of Tamil Nadu fishermen being attacked. "800 Tamil Nadu fishermen have been attacked by the Sri Lankan Navy. To ensure the safety of our fishermen, retrieve Katchatheevu (islands) and give them to us," he said, as quoted by news agency ANI.
Meanwhile, a TVK supporter fainted while he was on the way to the party rally in Madurai on Thursday. India Today reported that the supporter was rushed to the hospital but later passed away.
