DMK president M K Stalin on Thursday demanded a CBI probe into the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test impersonation scam to bring out the truth behind the murky episode now being investigated by the CB-CID of Tamil Nadu police.
The Government was a mute spectator and announced a CB-CID probe for an “eye wash,” and it will not render justice, he alleged here.
Asserting that his party remained committed to the stand that NEET should be done away with, he said news reports indicated that over 50 candidates might have secured admission through foul means like impersonation.
Stalin, the leader of opposition in the state assembly, said as per reports the scam allegedly involved some officials and middlemen from not only Tamil Nadu but other states as well.
The scam also had dimensions like irregularities in “getting certificates,” and not just impersonation, he said.
“Hence, to get justice a CBI probe should be held and only that will bring out the truth,” he said.
The DMK chief also said he and his sister Selvi have brought a property at Kattur near here to set up a museum to feature the life and times of late party chief and their father M Karunanidhi.
It is proposed to open the facility on the second death anniversary of the late leader on August 7, next year, he said.
