On Thursday, the Opposition in India's Parliament launched a vigorous protest against three key bills introduced by the government, which included a Constitution Amendment Bill aimed at implementing 33% reservation for women in Parliament and State Assemblies. The protests involved wearing black clothing and burning copies of the delimitation bill, with Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin leading the charge by calling the bill a 'black law' and urging widespread protests across the state. The government claims the bills will enhance representation, proposing to increase the total number of Lok Sabha seats from 543 to 850, with 272 reserved for women. However, major Opposition parties, including the Congress, Samajwadi Party, Trinamool Congress, and Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam, expressed strong objections, arguing that the linkage of women's reservation to delimitation undermines federal principles and could alter the political landscape ahead of the 2029 general elections. The Congress party announced a boycott of the Rajya Sabha Deputy Chairman election as a further protest against the government's actions.
