No More Protests Over NEET in Tamil Nadu, Says Supreme Court of India(SCI) Friday Sep 08,2017

The Supreme Court of India(SCI)on Friday Sep 08,2017 said that there would be no more protests in Tamil Nadu over NEET. 

The order came just days after protests erupted across the state over the suicide of S Anitha, a Dalit medical aspirant.

The state chief secretary and principal secretary have been made accountable to ensure that Tamil Nadu remains peaceful with the SCI asking the administration to book all those who disturb law and order. Additionally, the SCI has also said that political leaders can also be booked if they try to jeopardize normal life.

The order came while the SCI was hearing a PIL filed by lawyer GS Mani demanding a judicial inquiry into the death of Anitha. 

The plea also asked for the Tamil Nadu government to maintain law and order and ensure that protests over Anitha's death don't disrupt normal life.

17-year-old Dalit girl Anitha, who was the face of the fight against NEET, took her life on September  01,2017

The teenager from Ariyalur had petitioned the Supreme Court against the implementation of NEET in Tamil Nadu.

A day after the Anitha's suicide, protests were held across Chennai by many groups, including the Left parties and PMK.

 The protestors blamed both the state and the central government for Anitha's death
