DMK to Challenge Delimitation Bill in Supreme Court

The DMK plans to challenge the delimitation bill in the Supreme Court if it passes in Parliament. Legal department secretary N R Elango emphasized pursuing legal action in southern states' interest. The party cited lack of guarantees in the bill and previous failed government initiatives.

The DMK announced plans to legally contest the delimitation bill should it gain approval in Parliament. The party voiced concerns over the potential implications for southern states, with legal department secretary N R Elango asserting the readiness for judicial battle.

The DMK expressed skepticism about the bill's passage, reflecting on past government measures like demonetisation, deemed ineffective by DMK leaders. Organizing Secretary R S Bharathi criticized the absence of substantial assurances regarding the bill's impact.

The party advocates for clarity and reliability, stressing the importance of legitimacy and accountability in parliamentary actions. Delimitation processes, they argue, risk exacerbating regional divides between the north and south.
