Stalin mentioned that different states had been elevating their voice of solidarity in opposition to the central authorities.

“Their three-language coverage has already resulted within the withholding of our rightful funds. Likewise, whereas they declare they won’t scale back Tamil Nadu’s parliamentary seats, they’re unwilling to guarantee that the illustration of different states won’t be disproportionately elevated.

Tamil Nadu will prevail,” Stalin mentioned.
