I beg you not to have suicidal thoughts: CM Stalin

Tamil Nadu Chief Minister also appealed to National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (NEET) aspirants not to harbour any suicidal tendencies but to face life with self-confidence, after a medical aspirant allegedly ended his life. Taking it to Twitter, he said, “Let the death of student Jagatheeswaran and his father Selvashekar #NEET be the last death of the altar of sacrifice! Deepest condolences on their demise. Be confident, wise students. I beg you not to have suicidal thoughts.”

Stalin claimed that in a few months, when the political change takes place, then the NEET barriers will come crashing down. “Then, all those who say ‘I will not sign’ will disappear,” the Chief Minister said apparently referring to Tamil Nadu Governor RN Ravi’s remarks against the state’s anti-NEET bill.
