KOCHI: To break the deadlock over the admissions to the medical postgraduate courses in the self-financing colleges in the state, the state government will convene an all party meeting in Thiruvananthapuram on Monday.On the sidelines of the inaugural ceremony of the National University of Advanced Legal Studies (NUALS) campus at Kalamassery on Saturday, Chief Minister Oommen Chandy said the government would not allow anybody to sabotage the objective of social justice.The UDF Government is following the same policies adopted by the LDF government on the self-financing issue and so there is no justification for the protests by the Opposition, Chandy said. To a query, the Chief Minister said that it was the LDF Government which gave a relaxation to the Amrita Institute of Medical Sciences (AIMS) from handing over 50 per cent seats to the state government. "May be, the AIMS was given exemption owing to the fact that it was a deemed university", Chandy said.Earlier, inaugurating the NUALS campus, Chandy said the government had decided to hand over five acres of land at Kakkanad to set up a judicial academy."The government will take steps to support the legal system here," he said. The Chief Minister also held a discussion with Chief Justice of Kerala High Court Jasti Chelameswar on improving the infrastructure in the High Court.Union Minister of State for Food and Civil Supplies K V Thomas said consumer protection laws were being neglected here. The NUALS should focus on such issues, he said.Justice Jasti Chelameswar presided over the meeting. Education Minister P K Abdurabb, Works Minister V K Ibrahimkunju and Kalamassery municipal chairman Jamal Manakkadan spoke.
