Chennai: Chief Minister M K Stalin on Tuesday warned of massive agitations bringing Tamil Nadu to a standstill and “protests with full force,” if anything was done harming the state or if the political power of northern states was disproportionately increased in delimitation.
Reiterating his allegation that secrecy shrouds the proposed delimitation process, Stalin in a video message, said that without consulting not just the DMK but any political party or any state, the BJP-led Centre was attempting to proceed unilaterally.
“At this moment, I wish to say something important to the Union BJP government and to the Prime Minister, Narendra Modi. In the forthcoming Parliamentary session, our Members of Parliament will participate,” he said.
However, “if anything is done that harms Tamil Nadu, or that disproportionately enhances the political power of northern states, we in Tamil Nadu will not remain silent.”
The Dravidian party chief warned that Tamil Nadu will come to a standstill.
“Tamil Nadu will register its protest with full force. Every family will take to the streets. Under my leadership as the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, we will organise a massive agitation,” he said.
