Chennai: Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M K Stalin has burnt a copy of the delimitation bill and dubbed it a “black law” and said it seeks to make the Tamil people “refugees” in their own land.
According to Kashmir Media Service, M K Stalin hoisted a black flag and burnt a copy of the bill on delimitation circulated by the Indian government and raised slogans condemning the move, hours before the Parliament was to sit for a special session.
The CM burnt the copy of the bill at Namakkal in western Tamil Nadu where he is camping in connection with electioneering.
