Verdict on 7.5 per cent reservation is third victory to secure social justice: Stalin

Chief Minister MK Stalin  said the verdict of the Madras High Court upholding 7.5 per cent reservation for government school students in medical admission was the third victory secured by his government in the legal battle to secure social justice.

Making a statement in the Assembly, Stalin said the historically significant verdict is the acknowledgment of the Madras High Court for the reservation provided on a preferential basis with data and proper consultation.
“I would like to record with pride that the verdict is the third victory in the legal battle for social justice in the 10 months since the formation of the government,” the Chief Minister said.
“Tamil Nadu will continue to discharge its duty of upholding social justice in the people’s forum and courts and guide the whole nation. The Dravidian model government would work hard for the same,” he added, after declaring the happy news in the House that a favourable verdict has been pronounced by the court, upholding the 7.5 per cent reservation for govt school students in medical admission on preferential basis.
