DMK Rajya Sabha MP, P.
Wilson, on Friday criticised the State government for “failing” to contest a writ petition in Supreme Court, that ultimately led to 152 in-service super speciality seats being surrendered to the All India Quota (AIQ).
Wilson said in-service reservation is for doctors working in government hospitals, which when challenged in Supreme Court in 2021, the DMK government, led by M.K.
Stalin had fought for.
The court in 2021 had seen the merits presented and had allowed for in-service reservation “to strengthen the health system in Tamil Nadu.” In Tamil Nadu, 215 out of 430 super-speciality seats were reserved for government doctors.
