Chennai News Live Updates Today, November 9: The DMK on Tuesday said its-led Secular Progressive Alliance (SPA) has petitioned President Droupadi Murmu, urging the ‘sacking’ of Tamil Nadu Governor R N Ravi, with whom the ruling dispensation in the state is at loggerheads over a number of issues. In a detailed memorandum dated November 2, 2022, and submitted with the office of the President in New Delhi, the ruling alliance flagged a number of issues concerning the Governor, including the pending NEET bill and said all the acts were “unbecoming of the Governor.” The petition was signed by SPA members of Parliament.

In other news, the Tamil Nadu government on Tuesday announced convening a meeting of all legislature parties on November 12 to discuss the next course of action following the Supreme Court upholding the 10 per cent economically weaker section (EWS) quota. Chief Minister M K Stalin will chair the meeting. “This quota system is against social justice and equality and contrary to the social justice policy,” a government release said about the EWS reservation. Therefore, the meeting will discuss the next course of action on this issue.
