Stalin burns copy of delimitation bill, terms it 'black law'
Chennai/Namakkal (PTI): Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M K Stalin on Thursday burnt a copy of the delimitation bill and dubbed it a "black law" and alleged it seeks to make the Tamil people "refugees" in their own land.
Stalin hoisted a black flag and burnt a copy of the bill on delimitation circulated by the union government and raised slogans condemning the move, hours before the Parliament was to sit for a special session.
The CM burnt the copy of the bill at Namakkal in western Tamil Nadu where he is camping in connection with electioneering.
"Poradavom, Velvom ondraga" (Let us struggle, win together) was among the slogans raised by Stalin and others clad in black.
In a statement, Stalin said: "Let the flames of resistance spread across Tamil Nadu. Let the arrogance of the fascist BJP be brought down. Then, the fire of resistance against Hindi imposition that rose from Tamil Nadu scorched Delhi. It quietened only after Delhi was forced to yield." He was apparently referring to the anti-Hindi agitation in the 1960s in the state.
"Today, I have reignited that fire by burning the copy of this black law and hoisting the black flag against this black law that seeks to turn Tamils into refugees in our own land. This fire will now spread across the Dravidian land. It will rise, it will rage, and it will bring the BJP's arrogance to its knees," he added.
On Wednesday, while staunchly opposing Centre's proposed delimitation, he had called for a black flag protest across the state, claiming that the BJP-led NDA's move would harm Tamil Nadu's interests.

Dismissed UP cop kills beggar, burns body to fake own death; held
Hathras (UP) (PTI): A dismissed Uttar Pradesh Police constable has been arrested for allegedly killing a beggar and burning the body to fake his own death in the district, police said on Thursday.
The incident occurred on March 12 at a tin shed near Hathras Road Halt of the North Eastern Railway, where a charred body of an unidentified elderly man was recovered, they said.
According to police, Ramveer Singh (55), who had earlier been dismissed from service due to criminal activities, allegedly murdered the beggar and set the body on fire. He also placed his own identity card and belongings near the body to mislead authorities into believing that he had died.
A case was registered at the Government Railway Police (GRP) station in Hathras City, and during the investigation, police uncovered the plot and arrested Singh, a resident of Mainpuri district's Kishni area, on April 14.
GRP Hathras City station in-charge Suyash Singh said the accused carried out the crime with the intention of portraying himself as dead, but the truth emerged during the probe.
However, it was not clear why he wanted to fake his own death.
"He is a habitual offender and has multiple cases registered against him in districts including Firozabad, Aligarh, Moradabad, Hardoi, Mainpuri and Badaun, involving serious charges such as kidnapping, murder, robbery and fraud," the officer said.
Police said the accused also sustained burn injuries while committing the crime.
The identity of the deceased, believed to be a beggar in sadhu attire, is yet to be established. Efforts are underway to ascertain his identity, police added.
Further legal action in the case is in progress.
