Hold special session to pass bill on medical seats: AIADMK

AIADMK legislature wing leader A.Anbalagan told reporters here that presently private colleges were denying seats at 50 per cent of quota for local students.

“Seat sharing is done according to whims and fancies of the managements and most of the time the local students were not getting admission. Seats are sold away for exorbitant prices to students from other States,” he alleged and added that there should be a law to curb this unfair practice. Anbalagan said parents and student’s associations should also come forward to press the rights of the students.

The AIADMK leader wanted a legislation to be enacted to ensure 50% quota for government sponsored students in private medical colleges. “When the government could bring in a resolution to divest the nominated MLAs of their right to vote in the House as was done in the recent budget session, there is no reason why a legislation for medical college admission could not be introduced,” Anbalagan said.
