My article was published in “The Hindu” today on the imminent danger of the FCRA Bill 2026, which has already been introduced in the Lok Sabha and is likely to be discussed in the upcoming Parliament sessions. Remember, the minority serves the majority, and the Union Government's actions are damaging the fabric of the Constitution and are akin to poking one's own eyes! Please read this and share your comments. @mkstalin @Udhaystalin @Jacfoms @aifsoj FCRA Bill — expanding state control over civil society - thehindu.com/opinion/lead/f… For the best experience, read this on The Hindu App. bit.ly/THNewsApp

Several of you have been tagging the @dmkitwing and posting clips of the TVK IDs which have as usual been putting out completely false and baseless allegations against the DMK and its leadership in a desperate attempt to cover up the present governments massive failures. All such posts have been forwarded to the DMK Legal Wing and Arivalayam. We are confident that the Legal Wing @arivalayam will take necessary steps now to curb this fake news menace in the society. Please note that we have always taken all such malicious fake news to the knowledge of HQ and the Legal Wing Advocates. Please forward all such clips to @DMKLegalWing 🙏🏾

Today in my speech in the Parliament on the motion to thank President, I emphasised abolishing NEET and urged Hon’ble @narendramodi to give assent to TN NEET EXEMPTION BILL 2021 passed by TN Legislative Assembly at the behest of Hon’ble @mkstalin and sent to Union Home Ministry for president @rashtrapatibhvn assent . I said that Hon’ble @Udhaystalin has lead campaign against NEET and more than 80 lakhs persons have subscribed to this. I asked why the”The Public examination(prevention of unfair means ) Bill 2024” passed on 9.2.2024 and assented on 12.2.2024 was notified only on 21.6.2024 which made NTA officials @NTA_Exams to escape from this Act after NEET scam broke. I spoke about need for legislative backing of National Testing Agency @NTA_Exams which is responsible for conducting more than 14 critical competitive exams, including NEET as it is registered under the Societies Registration Act like any other flat owners housing societies. Crores of funds are given to this unaccountable body. On State issues I spoke as follows:- (A) Phase-II of Chennai Metro @cmrlofficial has been proposed at a cost of   Rs.63,246 Crores and covering 119 Kms as a 50:50 Joint   Venture between Union Government and Government of TN although, the Phase-II project’s Foundation Stone was laid by the   Hon’ble Union Home Minister @AmitShah on 21.11.2020 and the announcement for counterpart   funding was made in the Union Budget for 2021-22, there has been no   progress. Though the project was recommended by the Public Investment   Board (PIB) on 17.8.2021, it is still awaiting the approval of the Cabinet   Committee on Economic Affairs (CCEA). Many other city metro proposals which   were subsequently recommended by Public Investment Board have since been  approved by the Union Government.   Considering the pressing needs of the Chennai Metropolitan Area, the   Government of Tamil Nadu has commenced the works for Phase-II, in   anticipation of approval by the Union Government and the expenditure is being   currently met from the State Funds. While such funding of project expenditure   has ensured that the works are on track, the State’s fiscal situation has been   adversely impacted by it. This situation needs to be set right without any   further delay.   We urge the  Hon’ble Prime Minister to give cabinet clearance and allocate 50% of the cost, i.e. Rs 31,623 crores. (B) NDRF claims Tamil Nadu faced two unprecedented natural disasters in the month of   December 2023. Cyclonic storm ‘Michaung’ brought extremely very heavy rainfall  and also the southern districts of the State viz. Thoothukudi,   Tirunelveli, Tenkasi and Kanniyakumari districts received unprecedented, extremely   heavy rainfall in December 2023. As a result, the infrastructure both   public and private and livelihoods of the people have been devastated. After  The IMCT officials visited and assessed the damages the State Government made a claim of Rs 37,907.21crores. However, the Union Government has sanctioned only a   meagre compensation of Rs.276 crores from the NDRF on 26.4.2024. Given the   magnitude of the natural disasters and the colossal damage caused to the   infrastructure and livelihoods, this compensation is grossly inadequate and is a grave   injustice to the State of TN. Hence, it is requested that at least Rs.3,000 Crores may be   immediately sanctioned under NDRF to take up the restoration and relief   works and to defray the expenditure already incurred by the State. (C) WE NEED A CASTE BASED CENSUS as there is no contemporary data available after 1931 (D) NEW RAILWAY PROJECTS IN TAMIL NADU @GMSRailway requested on high   priority: - 1. 4th line between Tambaram and Chengalpattu.  2. Tiruppathur – Krishnagiri – Hosur New line.  3. Madurai – Thoothukudi – via – Aruppukkottai (143.5 Kms) (Only 18 Kms   commissioned, rest to be sanctioned).  4. Minjur – Tiruvallur – Sriperumpudur– Oragadam – Singaperumalkoil –  Maduranthagam.  @aifsoj @DMKITwing @arivalayam

After the historic fall of delimitation-linked 131st Constitutional Amendment Bill, my colleague @PWilsonDMK has introduced a Private Member’s Bill to implement 33% reservation for women in the Lok Sabha and State Assemblies, without linking it to delimitation. The Bill also proposes extending the freeze on delimitation till 2051, giving states time to achieve population stabilisation which can be achieved by our North Indian states through genuine women empowerment i.e. providing access to quality education, quality healthcare, and equal employment opportunities for women. If we are serious about women’s empowerment, 33% reservation must be implemented immediately within the current strength of Parliament. Any attempt to bring in delimitation through the back door risks undermining India’s federal balance amid existing regional population disparities between the North Indian states and rest of India. States like Tamil Nadu and other South Indian states, which prioritised women-centric development and population stabilisation, should be seen as models, not penalised with reduced political representation. I urge the Union Government to convene another special session of the Parliament after the Assembly elections and pass this Bill, or introduce an equivalent government legislation without delay. @KirenRijiju #NationSavedFromDivision #FairDelimitation
