Chennai: MK Stalin, the chief minister of Tamil Nadu, called on the populace to “rise” and defend the state against the three-language policy and constituency delineation on Friday.

The chief minister of Tamil Nadu said in a video message that the state is facing two major obstacles: the battle against delimitation and linguistic barriers.

Stalin pushed for the state’s self-respect, social justice, and welfare programs to be delineated by the constituency.

“Tamil Nadu is now facing two major obstacles: the struggle against delimitation, which is our right, and the fight for language, which is our lifeblood. I implore you to tell the people the real nature of our fight. Constituency delimitation has a direct effect on social fairness, welfare programs for the populace, and the dignity of our state. You ought to share this message with others. In a video statement posted on X, Stain said, “Everyone must stand up to protect our state.”
Stalin said that other nations were speaking out against the federal government in support.

“We are seeing voices of solidarity emerge today from Telangana, Punjab, Karnataka, and other states. The Union Government claims that it is not forcing its way on us in the face of this opposition, yet everything they do points to the contrary. The chief minister of Tamil Nadu remarked.

Stalin criticized the three-language strategy, claiming that delimitation would now “affect” the state’s representation and that it had caused the center to withhold state finances.

“Our legitimate money has already been withheld as a consequence of their three-language restriction. Similarly, they refuse to guarantee that other states’ representation won’t be disproportionately boosted, even if they say they won’t cut down Tamil Nadu’s parliamentary seats. We make it clear that parliamentary seats should not be chosen only on the basis of population. The future and well-being of Tamil Nadu shall never be compromised for anybody or anything. Tamil Nadu will not give up! “Tamil Nadu will win,” Stalin said.

Amit Shah’s promise to Southern states that they will not face discrimination during the delimitation process was previously deemed untrustworthy by Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah.

Shah’s comment seems to be intended to cause uncertainty in the southern states, according to the chief minister of Karnataka.

“Going by the home minister’s vague remarks, it seems that either he lacks proper information or there is a deliberate intent to disadvantage the southern states, including Karnataka, Telangana, Tamil Nadu, Kerala, and Andhra Pradesh,” he said.
