The DMK-led Secular Progressive Alliance (SPA) and its coalition partners staged a protest across Tamil Nadu on Thursday by raising black flags and burning copies of the Centre’s proposed delimitation bill.
DMK President MK Stalin led the proceedings, raising a black flag and burning a copy of the delimitation bill at the residence of a party functionary in Namakkal.
In an official social media post, Stalin wrote, “Let the fire of opposition spread throughout Tamil Nadu. Let the arrogance of fascist BJP fall.”
He also stated, “Today, I have ignited another fire by burning a copy of the Black Law that makes Tamils refugees in their own country. This fire too, will spread throughout the Dravidian land. It will subdue and show the arrogance of the BJP. Say no to NDA,”
During the protest, Stalin was accompanied by DMK Minister Madhivendhan and DMK Namakkal East district secretary Rajesh Kumar.
Other parties, including Makkal Needhi Maiam, CPI, CPI(M), and Marumalarchi Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam, also raised black flags and burnt copies of the delimitation bill at their respective offices.
