A major political flashpoint has erupted as M. K. Stalin publicly burned a copy of the Delimitation Bill, calling it unjust to southern states. Urging people to hoist black flags, Stalin framed the move as a protest against what he sees as unfair political redistribution. The development has intensified tensions between the DMK-led Tamil Nadu government and the BJP-led Centre, turning delimitation into a national political battleground.
