Amidst controversy, pro-CPI (M) Democratic Youth Federation of India (DFYI) Kerala Treasurer V V Ramesan Friday surrendered the post-graduate medical seat which his daughter had got under the non-resident Indian (NRI) quota in Pariyaram Medical College (PMC) in Kannur.
Announcing his decision to surrender the seat, he told newspersons here that his family had decided against accepting the seat in the wake of the ongoing controversy on the issue.
He said there was a mistake on his part, adding he had accepted the seat allotted to his daughter as a parent, ignoring its consequences.
Tendering apology to party activists, the youth leader said he took the decision to surrender the seat on the advice of the party in the wake of media reports which said his daughter was not eligible for the seat under the quota reserved for children of NRIs.
Denying remittance of Rs 50 lakh to the college as fee, he said his brother had paid only Rs 5 lakh on his behalf.
Meanwhile, the Muslim Youth League (MYL), affiliated to the Indian Union Muslim League (IUML), the second largest partner in the Congress-led ruling United Democratic Front (UDF) in the state, demanded a thorough probe into the controversial allocation of the seat.
Talking to newspersons in Kozhikode, MUL President K M Shaji, MLA, said the government should order a comprehensive probe to unravel malafide actions of its directors relating to the admissions.
Former minister and PMC founder-leader M V Raghavan also demanded an inquiry into the issue.
Welcoming the demand, PMC Chairman and CPI (M) leader M V Jayarajan called upon the government to institute an investigation into the affairs of PMC Society since its inception so that any wrongdoing by erstwhile office-bearers could also be unearthed.
