Supreme Court On NEET : Govt must refund candidates

PANAJI: Welcoming the strictures passed by the Supreme Court against the state government in the NEET imbroglio, Congress spokesperson Sudip Tamankar said that the government must pay compensation to the NEET students who incurred expenses of about 25 lakh in the Supreme Court to fight their case.

Briefing mediapersons, Tamankar also accused the vigilance department of being chief minister Manohar Parrikar's "agents" for not lodging a FIR in a NEET-related complained filed by him.

Tamankar accused Parrikar of using the state's full strength to win the NEET case in the Supreme Court but still losing it. Tamankar said the state Congress unit had submitted representations to the medical council of India which helped win the case for the non-NEET students.

Tamankar said it is unfortunate for Goans that the local vigilance department will not lodge a FIR on his criminal complaint regarding the NEET case. He said the "criminal conspiracy" needs to be unearthed.

Tamankar said that if the vigilance department still does not lodge a FIR on his complaint, he will soon file an addendum to his complaint and then approach the courts to seek their direction to the vigilance department to lodge a FIR.

Responding to reported allegations by vigilance department officials that he was filing cases without giving evidence, Tamankar said he gave enough prima facie evidence for them to lodge FIRs on his complaints.

He said the local vigilance officers were "agents" of Parrikar and are therefore involved in manipulations.

He said there are about 600 complaints lodged by citizens but unless they go to court, the vigilance department does not file FIRs.
