Chief Minister M.K. Stalin has called for an all-party meeting on March 5 in Chennai to discuss the impact of proposed delimitation.
This process could reduce the number of Lok Sabha seats in Tamil Nadu from 39 to 31.
Stalin emphasized that the issue is not just about losing seats, but about suppressing Tamil Nadu's voice in national matters.
Tamil Nadu has successfully controlled its population through family planning, women's education, and healthcare, making it a leader in Human Development Indices (HDI).
The delimitation exercise is not just a Tamil Nadu issue but also affects southern states as a whole.
Stalin urged all political parties to unite and oppose the delimitation exercise to protect the state's rights.
