CHENNAI: Tamil Nadu is set to witness widespread protests on Thursday after Chief Minister M. K. Stalin called for a statewide black flag demonstration against the Centre’s proposed delimitation exercise and constitutional amendments.
Urging people to express their dissent, Stalin appealed to citizens across the state to hoist black flags in their homes and public spaces.
"Let black flags rise! Tamil Nadu will fight, and Tamil Nadu will win, " he declared in a strongly worded social media statement, signalling an intensification of the political battle against the Union government.
The protest call comes ahead of a special session of Parliament, where the Centre is scheduled to introduce three key bills — the Constitution (131st Amendment) Bill, 2026; the Delimitation Bill, 2026; and the Union Territories (Amendment) Bill, 2026.
