Huge risk to non-Hindi States? Delimitation promotes 'Hindia' says Kamal Haasan

Tamil Nadu: Actor- turned- politician Kamal Haasan has explosively opposed the Centre's offer for administrative constituency delimitation, advising that it could disrupt India's civil structure and undermine the country's diversity.Speaking at an each- party meeting convened by Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin on Wednesday, the Makkal Needhi Maiam( MNM) principal advised that the move promotes a homogenised " Hindia " and could disproportionately affect several countries beyond Tamil Nadu, including Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Kerala, Punjab, Odisha, West Bengal, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, and the northeastern countries.

We do not have enough representation 

Haasan, who has been nominated for Rajya Sabha by Stalin's DMK party, reiterated his station that countries which successfully controlled population growth shouldn't be penalised. India  had 543 Members of Parliament( MPs). He cited once opinions by former high ministers in 1976 and 2001, who upheld civil principles by abstain from redrawing administrative constituencies grounded on population. moment, with 1.45 billion people, we're still effectively governed with the same number of MPs. This means we do not have enough representation.  

MK Stalin passes resolution opposing delimitation

This raises serious enterprises about the real motives behind this move," Haasan said. He advised that the reorganisation of constituencies could reduce representation fornon-Hindi-speaking statesundermining India's popular balance. MK Stalin passes resolution opposing delimitation. Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin led an each- party meeting on Wednesday to bandy the issue of administrative constituency delimitation. Five judgments were unanimously passed at the meeting, including a demand for the Centre to cleave to the 1971 tale for any unborn delimitation.

Implicit consequences of the delimitation process

Stalin reaffirmed that the each- party meeting wasn't opposed to the delimitation process itself but to the methodology being considered. During the meeting, Stalin blazoned the conformation of a common Action Committee comprising MPs from Tamil Nadu and other southern countries. The commission will work to mobilise support, stage demurrers, and produce public mindfulness about the implicit consequences of the delimitation process.

Tamil Nadu isn't against delimitation

 Tamil Nadu could lose eight seats, reducing its representation from 39 to 32," If the current 543 administrative constituencies are maintained. Indeed if the total number of constituencies is increased to 848, the state would gain only 10 fresh seats rather of 22, performing in a net loss of 12 seats," Stalin explained. The DMK chief stressed that such a move would be illegal to countries that had enforced progressive programs for public weal." Tamil Nadu isn't against delimitation, but it shouldn't come a discipline for states that have prioritised social development over population growth," he said. 55 political parties attend meeting, Bharatiya Janata Party( BJP), Tamil Manila Congress, and Naam Tamilar Katchi chose not to attend.
