Tamil Nadu Protests Delimitation Bill

The protest aims to highlight concerns that the new boundaries would favor northern Indian states, potentially reducing the South's influence in Parliament to just 20%.

Former Union Minister P. Chidambaram joined the criticism, describing the bill as a mischievous attempt to undermine regional balance.

The controversy has reignited long-standing tensions between the central government and southern states over fiscal and political autonomy.

Stalin has warned that the agitation could escalate into a movement similar to the anti-Hindi stirs of the 1960s if the bill is not withdrawn.
