In a social media post, Mr. Stalin said: “Do not turn a calm south into a storm.” He further said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi must answer the “fair and pressing questions” raised by the people of the south.
“Why is the Union BJP government shrouding the entire delimitation process in secrecy instead of coming clean on how it intends to carry it out?” Mr. Stalin asked. Recalling that in 2001, former Prime Minister Vajpayee deferred delimitation for 25 years in the interest of the nation, Mr. Stalin asked: “What is Prime Minister Modi’s answer to the just and reasonable demand of the southern States to follow the same path today?”
Mr. Stalin further asked: “What is the tearing hurry to convene a special session of Parliament right in the middle of five State elections? Why is the Union government brushing aside the fair and reasoned demand of Opposition leaders to hold the special session only after April 29? What is it trying to hide?”
