Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M K Stalin advised the youth to have children soon after marriage and said that higher population seems to be the criterion for getting more parliamentary seats. Addressing a wedding function, Stalin, the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) president, said that many years ago, newlyweds were advised not to have children soon after marriage. However, this advice should not be given now and there is no need for it, he said.
Stalin said this is because now a situation has arisen that more MPs will be ensured only if there is a higher population as the delimitation process will be based on population.
Tamil Nadu suffering the consequences of population control
He said Tamil Nadu focused on population control and was successful in it but today the state is suffering the consequences. He appealed to the bride and groom, saying, “I will not tell you not to have children in a hurry, but have children immediately and give them beautiful Tamil names.” Stalin said that the question of delimitation is related to the protection of the rights and interests of Tamil Nadu, so this matter should not be politically evaluated.
Stalin made this allegation on the central government
Stalin alleged that the central government is planning to implement the three-language policy under pressure and similarly it is trying to reduce the number of seats for Tamil Nadu in the delimitation exercise. In this background, an all-party meeting is being held on March 5 on the proposed delimitation exercise and most of the 40 parties have confirmed their participation. Some parties have said that they will not participate in it. The Chief Minister has appealed to such parties not to look at this issue from the prism of politics.
Stalin appeals
The BJP and Tamil Manila Congress (Moopnar), a party led by former Union Minister GK Vasan, said they would not attend the meeting. Stalin said, “I would like to appeal to them to please consider it. This is not an issue between the DMK and your party.” He appealed that the issue is about Tamil Nadu and its interests and rights. Stalin said that, therefore, the parties which have announced that they will not participate should also participate in it.
