Stalin burns copy of delimitation bill, leads black flag protest against Centre

Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin on Thursday intensified his protest against the Centre’s proposed delimitation move by burning a copy of the bill and hoisting a black flag, formally launching a statewide agitation.

Wearing black attire, Stalin raised the black flag as a mark of protest against The Constitution (One Hundred and Thirty-First Amendment) Bill, 2026, which proposes a delimitation exercise to alter the size and composition of state legislative assemblies and the Lok Sabha. He also burned a copy of what he described as a “black law.”
