<h1>DMK Leader Urges 1997 Data for Delimitation; Criticizes Census Delay, Hindi Imposition, and CAA Exclusions</h1> DMK leader raised concerns in the Rajya Sabha about the proposed delimitation exercise, urging the use of 1997 population data to protect southern states' representation in Parliament. This follows the Home Minister's assurance of no reduction in Tamil Nadu's Lok Sabha seats, which has caused confusion. The DMK leader criticized the Centre for not starting the census process and accused it of disadvantaging states adhering to family planning. He also expressed dissatisfaction with the imposition of Hindi, exclusion of certain groups from the Citizenship Amendment Act, and inadequate funding for disaster management and police modernization in Tamil Nadu.
