Tamil Nadu Assembly Urges Freeze on Lok Sabha Seats and Women's Reservation Implementation
Tamil Nadu's Assembly passed a resolution urging the Union government to freeze Lok Sabha seats at 543 and implement 33% women's reservation based on this fixed number. Led by Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay and supported by opposition DMK and allies, the resolution opposes the Centre's proposed delimitation linked to a new census, fearing reduced southern representation. The resolution calls for constitutional amendments to maintain current seat distribution and implement women's reservation in upcoming elections. Some parties, including BJP and AIADMK, oppose the resolution, citing procedural concerns.
