Sonia Gandhi argued that any move to redraw parliamentary constituencies must be guided by political fairness and not reduced to a mere mathematical exercise

Congress Parliamentary Party chairperson Sonia Gandhi on Monday said the real controversy around the government’s proposed special session of Parliament is not women’s reservation but delimitation, warning that the reported plan poses a serious threat to constitutional balance.

In an article published in The Hindu, Sonia Gandhi argued that any move to redraw parliamentary constituencies, especially one that increases the strength of the Lok Sabha, must be guided by political fairness and not reduced to a mere mathematical exercise.

She described the proposed approach to delimitation as “extremely dangerous" and an “assault on the Constitution."
