Tamil Nadu: Black Flags Waved At Governor RN Ravi Over NEET Bill Row

Ravi was heading to the Mutt located near Mayiladuthurai as functionaries and workers of various political parties waved black flags at his convoy

New Delhi: Days after the Tamil Nadu government snubbed Governor RN Ravi "at home reception" over the NEET Bill row, various political parties on Tuesday waved black flags at the Governor's convoy on his visit to Mayiladuthurai.

Ravi was heading to the Mutt located near Mayiladuthurai as functionaries and workers of various political parties waved black flags at his convoy. For their ire against the Governor, the protesters cited delays made by Governor in approving bills and resolutions passed in the Assembly.

The ruling DMK led by Stalin had been demanding to recall Tamil Nadu Governor and to abolish the office of Governor, especially after the state government's relations with Raj Bhavan soured during NEET Exemption Bill controversy. The Tamil Nadu Assembly adopted a Bill for exemption from NEET but the Governor returned the Bill without sending it to President for his assent. Following this, the house has adopted a second Bill again this year.

TN CM Stalin told PTI, "The relationship between the Governor and us is good. Governor Ravi is pleasant to associate with. He is always interested in meeting and conversing at length. We do not want to criticise him on a personal note."
