JAYA (MDS16) Withdraw decision on 60% marks for scholarship CHENNAI, FEB 8 (PTI) AIADMK leader Jayalalithaa today asked the Centre to withdraw its decision to make 60 per cent marks compulsory for Plus-two students of SC/ST communities to get scholarships, saying it would hinder their higher studies. Referring to Chief Minister M Karunanidhi's remarks that he had written to the Centre on the issue, she said in a statement that the Government should have condemned the decision, instead of merely writing a letter. "The Chief Minister's attempt to while away time by writing letters instead of taking steps to secure the rights of SC/ST students will only amount to rolling out a red carpet to the Centre's decision," she charged.
