DMK president and former Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin on Wednesday (July 22, 2026) said more than any other demand, the abolition of NEET must be at the heart of students’ protests in New Delhi. “Only scrapping NEET will provide a lasting solution to all these problems,” Mr. Stalin contended.

The DMK president said: “We were the first to warn that NEET was designed to enable large-scale irregularities. That is why the DMK has opposed NEET from the very beginning, consistently pointing out the dangers it poses.”

“Tamil Nadu, which led India in defending social justice and paved the way for the First Constitutional Amendment, has only one demand,” he reiterated.
