MK Stalin calls all-party meet

.

Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin has called for an all-party meeting on Mar 5, inviting as many as 45 political parties, to discuss concerns surrounding the proposed Lok Sabha delimitation exercise and the three-language policy.

However, the BJP has announced its decision to boycott the meeting, citing strong objections.

BJP leaders stated that their decision came after thorough deliberation.

"We have sent a detailed letter to the Chief Minister explaining our reasons for not participating in the meeting. The letter from Stalin raised multiple questions regarding delimitation and the three-language policy, and we have provided our responses while also posing counter-questions," a BJP leader said.

Questioning the premise of the Chief Minister's concerns, the BJP asked, "On what basis are you claiming that Tamil Nadu's parliamentary seats will be reduced? Who provided this information? If the source is disclosed, we are open to reconsidering our stance".
