Dr. Anbumani Ramadoss, president of PMK, criticized the Tamil Nadu government for its treatment of guest lecturers. He stated that 7,314 guest lecturers are underpaid, earning only ₹25,000, despite being qualified for higher positions. He highlighted that guest lecturers receive low salaries and limited job security, with many working for 11 months a year. Ramadoss called their demands for better pay fair and urged the government to engage in discussions to resolve the issue. The government has reportedly threatened to dismiss protesting guest lecturers, which Ramadoss described as oppressive. He emphasized the importance of guest lecturers in filling over 8,000 vacant positions in government colleges.
