Overview

• The Joint Action Committee (JAC), consisting of leaders from seven states, passed a resolution urging the central government to extend the freeze on delimitation for another 25 years.
• The JAC argues that population-based delimitation would unfairly penalize southern states that have successfully implemented population control measures.
• The BJP has assured that proportional representation for southern states will not change but criticized the JAC's meeting as politically motivated.
• The resolution emphasized the need for transparency and consultation with all stakeholders in any delimitation process to ensure fairness.
• The JAC plans to hold its next meeting in Hyderabad to continue discussions and coordinate opposition to population-based delimitation.
