DMK walks out of Lok Sabha over delimitation discussion

Members of the DMK party walked out of the Lok Sabha on March 18, 2025. They claimed they were not allowed to discuss the issue of delimitation, which affects the drawing of parliamentary and Assembly constituencies. As the session began, DMK members quickly tried to raise concerns about delimitation during Question Hour. However, Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla told them they could speak after Question Hour and noted that a census was required first. Despite this, DMK members insisted on their demand for a discussion. Frustrated by the lack of response, they decided to leave the House. DMK leader Kanimozhi addressed reporters, saying they were not given time to raise the issue. She emphasized that the government had not addressed Tamil Nadu's concerns and that they wanted clarity on the matter.
