The equity issue in representation

The Centre must listen to the nuanced message from the Chennai meeting on delimitation

- 

There are multiple takeaways from the Chennai meeting of the joint action committee (JAC) comprising the CMs of Tamil Nadu, Telangana, Kerala and Punjab and senior leaders from Odisha, Karnataka, and Telangana. One, the resolution passed at the meeting has sought a freeze on the delimitation of parliamentary constituencies for another 25 years. Two, Tamil Nadu CM MK Stalin clarified on X that JAC was not against delimitation but only demands a "fair and just process" that "does not punish states that have contributed to our national progress through their effective population control".
