Amid the ongoing anti-SIR protests, the DMK has called a crucial meeting of its MPs in Chennai. The meeting, to be chaired by party chief and former chief minister M K Stalin, is likely to discuss the SIR issue, NDTV has learnt.
“Where is @abhijeet_dipke? Where is @neha_aisa? Detaining them without disclosing their whereabouts is blatantly illegal and deeply inhumane. The Union Government must release them immediately and stop suppressing peaceful protests. Every attempt to crush the movement will only make it stronger,” he posted on X. He ended his post with #GyaneshKumarMustGo. “The Union BJP Government has no other option. “How many protestors can this government detain? How many young voices can the BJP silence? Stalin had posted. Since its divorce with the Congress in Tamil Nadu, the DMK has been keeping its distance from the INDIA bloc and is now looking at opening a new front in the fight against SIR.
sources have told NDTV that the BJP has opened channels with the party with 22 MPs after its break-up with the Congress While DMK has been one of the fiercest critics of delimitation.
The DMK’s political machinations also come amid speculation around a special session of Parliament that the government is likely to call later this month to push the delimitation and women’s reservation bills that failed the test of the House earlier this year.
