On Friday, the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu emphasized the importance of fair delimitation for the state’s rights, stating that what began as an initiative from Tamil Nadu has now evolved into a national movement. Ahead of the first Joint Action Committee (JAC) meeting scheduled for Saturday, March 22, with Opposition state Chief Ministers and leaders, CM Stalin shared a video statement on social media.

He highlighted that fair delimitation is essential not only for the number of parliamentary representatives but also for safeguarding the state’s rights.

In a post on his X handle, Stalin referred to the upcoming meeting as a historic day for Indian federalism and extended a “warm welcome” to leaders from Kerala, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Odisha, West Bengal, and Punjab who will be attending the Joint Action Committee meeting focused on delimitation.

Calling the meeting on “fair” delimitation a significant event, CM Stalin noted that the all-party meeting held on March 5 was a milestone where 58 registered political parties in Tamil Nadu united for a common cause, putting aside their differences. “This overwhelming consensus reflects Tamil Nadu’s steadfast dedication to democracy and justice,” he remarked.

He mentioned that following the March 5 gathering, his party’s MPs and Ministers have been reaching out to leaders of other parties and Chief Ministers. “Building on this historic unity, our MPs and Ministers have actively connected with leaders from other impacted states, reinforcing our collective determination. What started as Tamil Nadu’s initiative has now blossomed into a national movement, with states across India collaborating to demand fair representation,” he stated.

CM Stalin described this moment as pivotal in their joint effort, declaring, “This is more than just a meeting — it marks the inception of a movement that will influence the future of our country. Together, we will secure fair delimitation.”

The meeting is expected to be a significant demonstration of unity among Opposition parties against the BJP. CM Stalin plans to elaborate on how southern states might risk losing political representation in the Lok Sabha if the delimitation process is solely based on population.

The next delimitation is scheduled for 2026. However, the Central government has dismissed these concerns, assuring there will be no reduction in seats. In February, Union Home Minister Amit Shah, during an event in Coimbatore, reiterated assurances from Prime Minister Narendra Modi, while Defence Minister Rajnath Singh stated that the number of seats allocated to each state would “naturally increase.”

National: One year after the deadly terror attack in Pahalgam, the nation remembers the 26 people who lost their lives. The attack took place on April 22 at Baisaran, a popular tourist spot.

At first, reports said only five people were injured. Later, it became clear that it was one of the worst terror attacks in the region in decades. Terrorists came out of the forest and opened fire on tourists.

Survivors said the attackers separated men from women and children. They then shot the men at close range. Many victims were reportedly targeted after being asked about their religion.

A heartbreaking image of Himanshi Narwal sitting beside her husband’s body became a symbol of the tragedy. Her husband, a naval officer, was among those killed.

The group The Resistance front, linked to Lashkar-e-Taiba, claimed responsibility. The case was investigated by the National Investigation Agency.

After months of tracking, security forces launched Operation Mahadev. On July 28, 2025, all three terrorists were killed after a long search operation.

The attack remains a painful memory and a reminder of the need for strong security.
