Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin criticises the Centre's handling of women's reservation, accusing it of using the issue to tackle opposition before a population-based delimitation exercise. Stalin urges immediate implementation without linking it to delimitation, advocating against punishing states with successful population control programs.
