Indian States Urge 25-Year Freeze Extension on Parliamentary Delimitation

The Joint Action Committee, led by Tamil Nadu CM MK Stalin, calls for equitable representation and transparency as BJP defends current plans.

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.
