The ruling Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) party, along with its coalition partners in the Secular Progressive Alliance (SPA), organized protests across Tamil Nadu against the Indian government's proposed delimitation bill. DMK President MK Stalin led the demonstration by raising a black flag and burning a copy of the bill at a party functionary's residence in Namakkal. In a social media post, he condemned the bill as a 'Black Law' that threatens to make Tamils refugees in their own country, urging the citizens to oppose the BJP's perceived arrogance. Stalin emphasized that the BJP aims to enhance political power for northern states while diminishing it for southern states, particularly Tamil Nadu. He called on families to join the protests and display black flags at their homes. Other political factions, including the Makkal Needhi Maiam (MNM), the Communist Party of India (CPI), and the Marumalarchi Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (MDMK), also participated in the protests, echoing similar sentiments against the bill.
