Stalin burns copy of delimitation bill, terms it 'black law'
CHENNAI/NAMAKKAL: Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M K Stalin on Thursday burnt a copy of the delimitation bill and dubbed it a "black law" and alleged it seeks to make the Tamil people "refugees" in their own land.
Stalin hoisted a black flag and burnt a copy of the bill on delimitation circulated by the union government and raised slogans condemning the move, hours before the Parliament was to sit for a special session.
The CM burnt the copy of the bill at Namakkal in western Tamil Nadu where he is camping in connection with electioneering.
In a statement, Stalin said: “Let the flames of resistance spread across Tamil Nadu. Let the arrogance of the fascist BJP be brought down. Then, the fire of resistance against Hindi imposition that rose from Tamil Nadu scorched Delhi. It quietened only after Delhi was forced to yield.”
“Today, I have reignited that fire by burning the copy of this black law and hoisting the black flag against this black law that seeks to turn Tamils into refugees in our own land. This fire will now spread across the Dravidian land. It will rise, it will rage, and it will bring the BJP's arrogance to its knees,” he added.
The protest follows his call a day earlier for demonstrations across the state against the Centre’s delimitation proposal, which he said would harm Tamil Nadu’s interests.
