DMK Mobilizes Nationwide Opposition to Proposed Delimitation Exercise

Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin leads efforts to unite regional parties against population-based seat redistribution, citing unfair impact on southern states.

The DMK has launched a campaign to oppose the Union government's proposed delimitation exercise, which could reduce parliamentary representation for southern states like Tamil Nadu and Kerala.
Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin has called for a Joint Action Committee meeting on March 22 in Chennai, inviting leaders from seven affected states to coordinate opposition efforts.
DMK MPs have resolved to raise the delimitation issue in Parliament, emphasizing that population-based seat allocation would penalize states with successful population control measures.
Union Home Minister Amit Shah has assured that southern states will receive a fair share of seats, but opposition leaders argue that the process lacks clarity and could undermine federalism.
The DMK is working with the INDIA bloc and other regional parties to ensure fair representation and resist what they describe as attempts to diminish southern states' influence in Parliament.
