The Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam-led Secular Progressive Alliance, along with its coalition partners, staged a protest across Tamil Nadu on Thursday by hoisting black flags and burning copies of the Centre’s proposed delimitation bill.
While leading the proceedings, DMK president MK Stalin hoisted the black flag and also burnt a copy of the demarcation bill at the residence of a party functionary in Namakkal.
In his official social media post later on Thursday, he wrote: “Let the fires of opposition spread across Tamil Nadu. Down with the arrogance of the fascist BJP.”

During the protest, Stalin was accompanied by DMK Minister Madvindhan and DMK Namakkal East district secretary Rajesh Kumar.
On Wednesday, Stalin in a video message appealed to people to hoist black flags at their homes and public places to register their opposition to the demarcation bill.
“The BJP is trying to give more political power to the northern states and make the southern states lose their political power. If that happens, Tamil Nadu will not watch and remain quiet. I said every family will take to the streets and protest,” he wrote.
Members of actor-politician Kamal Haasan-led Makkal Needhi Maiam (MNM), Left Party CPI, Communist Party of India (Marxist) and Marumalarchi Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (MDMK) also raised black flags and burnt copies of the demarcation bill in their offices.
