Tamil Nadu CM Opposes Three-Language Policy and Delimitation, Says Will Fight and Win (Watch Video)

Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M K Stalin recently posted a video on his X handle before his birthday. The caption on the post was, “Only one goal, Tamil Nadu will fight, Tamil Nadu will win.” In the video, he spoke about the state’s fight against delimitation and the battle for language.

In the video, he says, “I do not celebrate my birthday as a grand extravagant event. However, my party leaders engage in activities such as distributing welfare assistance to the people, organising public meetings to highlight our government’s achievements, and propagating our party’s ideals. This time, on the occasion of my birthday, I wish to make a special request to all who are intertwined with my life. Today, Tamil Nadu is confronting two critical challenges - the battle for language, which is our lifeline, and the fight against delimitation, which is our right.”

Speaking about the impact of constituency delimitation, he said, “I earnestly urge you to convey the true essence of our battle to the people. Constituency delimitation directly impacts our state’s self-respect, social justice, and welfare schemes for the people. You should take this message to the people. Every individual should rise to defend our state. We were the pioneers in this ideological battle, setting the course for this entire nation.”

“Today, we are witnessing the voices of solidarity rising from Karnataka, Punjab, Telangana, and beyond. Faced with this resistance, the union government insists that it is not imposing its will upon us, yet their actions suggest otherwise.”

“Their three-language policy has already resulted in the withholding of our rightful funds. Likewise, while they claim they will not reduce Tamil Nadu’s parliamentary seats, they are unwilling to assure that the representation of other states will not be disproportionately increased,” he said.

He said Tamil Nadu and his party will never accept any injustice. He said, “Our demand is clear - do not determine parliamentary constituencies based on population alone. Do not penalise the Southern States that took responsible measures to control population growth. If such an injustice is imposed, Tamil Nadu and DMK will never accept it. We must make a pledge, We will never compromise on Tamil Nadu’s future and welfare for anyone or anything. We must stand together and fight for our state’s rights. Tamil Nadu will resist! Tamil Nadu will prevail!”

During his Coimbatore tour earlier this year, Home Minister Amit Shah assured everyone that South India would not lose a single seat. He said that PM Narendra Modi is keeping the interest of the South in his mind and will not reduce any seats.
