DMK president and Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin on Tuesday (March 24, 2026) called for the convening of a special session of Parliament in early June to enact amendments to the Constitution of India with respect to delimitation, such as an increase in seats, continuation of the current share of representation of States, and a guarantee that such representation will continue for the next 30 years.
In a post on X, Mr. Stalin said recent newspaper reports indicated that women’s representation in Parliament and Legislative Assemblies was being considered based on the 2011 Census. The step is not in line with The Constitution (128th Amendment) Bill, 2023, passed by the BJP government at the Centre, and its earlier position to take up the initiative only after delimitation is carried out based on the Census conducted after 2026, the Chief Minister said.
