At least 12 civilians have died due to security forces being shot at protesters in Pakistan-promoted Kashmir (POK). The region has been facing the biggest protests in recent years. These demonstrations started against not meeting 38 major demands of the government, but now it has turned into a broad movement against arbitrary and other atrocities of the army.

On Thursday, the protest entered its third day. There was a clash between the protesters and the army in Dadiyal, while the government deployed thousands of additional soldiers to control the situation. Apart from Muzaffarabad, the violence has spread to Rawalakot, Neelam Valley and Kotli.

Meeting of Joint Awami Action Committee

Chaudhary Anwarul Haq and Federal Minister of Parliamentary Affairs Tariq Fazal Chaudhary on Wednesday invited the United Awami Action Committee (JAAC) to negotiate to establish peace between the protesters and the government. According to reports, 5 protesters were shot dead in Muzaffarabad, 5 in Dhirkot and 2 in Dadiyal. Apart from this, at least 3 policemen have also been killed. More than 200 people have been injured, many of whom are in critical condition.

The demonstration is being led by the Jammu and Kashmir Joint Awami Action Committee (AAC), and due to this, life has stopped in the entire PoK. The main reason for this movement is the demand to abolish 12 assembly seats, which are reserved for Kashmiri refugees living in Pakistan. Other demands include tax relief, flour and subsidy on electricity, and development projects.

Markets, shops closed from September 29

Markets, shops and local businesses are closed since 29 September. Mobile, internet and landline services are also completely closed. Thousands of people are demonstrating, throwing stones and dropping large containers, which were tried to stop march by putting on bridges.

In other cities, despite the security arrangements, the protesters took out marches and raised slogans like “Rulers, Beware, We Are Your Doom” and “Kashmir is Ors, we will decide its fate”. This is the first time that PoK citizens are directly targeting the Pakistani government and the army.

Pakistan Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif said that the government is ready to solve the issues and a dialogue committee has been formed to establish peace. He also directed to take restraint with the protesters.

Also, the United Kashmir People’s National Party (UKPNP) spokesman Nasir Aziz Khan appealed to the United Nations and the international community for immediate intervention. He said that human rights crisis can arise in PoK and member countries should take action under their international agreements. Prior to this development, 30 civilians were killed in the airstrikes of Pakistan Air Force in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, causing this tension to increase further.

Delimitation: Till now only statements were coming from the leaders of South Indian states on the issue of delimitation, but now the fight has started on this issue. A big meeting was held in Chennai today (March 22) on this issue. CM and deputy CM of five states participated in it. Leaders from three other states also attended this meeting. All the public representatives involved in the meeting counted the side effects to their states with delimitation.

This meeting was held under the leadership of Tamil Nadu CM MK Stalin. Kerala Chief Minister P Vijayan, Telangana CM Revanth Reddy, Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann and Karnataka Deputy CM DK Shivkumar participated in it. Representatives also participated from Odisha opposition party Biju Janata Dal and Andhra Pradesh opposition party YSR-Congress. Everyone opposed delimitation with their facts. who said what? Read here …

Tamil Nadu CM MK Stalin: The delimitation will prove to be extremely bad for those states who strictly implemented family schemes for population control and succeeded. We are not against delimitation. We are in favor of fair delimitation. If there is delimitation according to the population, then our representation will be less in Parliament. If this happens, the center will have to fight to get funds from Sarakar, farmers will be affected, our culture and development will be in danger. Our citizens will lose strength in their own country. Their words will not be heard.

Kerala CM P Vijayan: The BJP government is moving forward on this issue without consultation. This is a step inspired by narrow political interests. If there is delimitation according to the population, then there will be an unexpected increase in seats for the northern states, while the seats of southern states will decrease in Parliament. This will be a profitable deal for the BJP as they have a good influence in the northern states.

Telangana CM Revanth Reddy: Today there is a big challenge before the country. The BJP wants to impose a penalty on the south states through delimitation. We are a country. We respect it, but South India cannot accept this delimitation on the basis of population. This will limit us politically. This will be like punishing us for good work (population control and economic progress). We have to stop the BJP from implementing the delimitation.

Karnataka Deputy CM DK Shivkumar: South India always retained family planning policies and controlled the population. This is why it became a progressive area. We always worked in the national interest. Through delimitation, there is an attempt to decrease the seats of our states. We will not let this happen.

Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Maan: Where the BJP has been winning, it wants to increase seats and where it has to face defeat, it wants to reduce seats. We will oppose such delimitation.

BJD chief Naveen Patnaik from Odisha: On the basis of population, delimitation will be unfair to those southern states who control the population through family planning schemes in the country. The delimitation should not be applied on the basis of population. I would advise that after discussing with all the parties in this matter, the Central Government should take some steps on this.

What is the issue of delimitation?
The country has not been delighted since the last 5 decades. After the year 2026, it is considered to be fixed. In the delimitation, the seats of the Lok Sabha will be distributed according to the population. That is, in the state where there is more population, there will be more seats and where there is less population, that state will get less seats.

Looking at the population figures of 2011 itself, there has been a huge increase in population in North Indian states, where the population in South Indian states remained under control. In such a situation, it is clear that the Lok Sabha seats in the states of North India like UP, Bihar, Rajasthan, MP will increase a major increase, while the representation of South Indian states like Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Karnataka, Telangana will be reduced in Parliament. This is the reason that the South Indian states have come face to face with the Center on this issue.

Delimitation controversy: Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin convened the first meeting of the Joint Action Committee (JAC) in Chennai on Saturday (22 March 2025), which was aimed at opposing the proposed delimitation process of the Central Government. This initiative of the CM of Tamil Nadu has also drawn the attention of the remaining leaders of the South. They are afraid that after the delimitation is implemented, they may weaken their political representation and rights.

Addressing the meeting here, Chief Minister Stalin supported the formation of an expert committee to prepare a political and legal action plan. He clarified that the law will also be resorted to in this fight. Stalin said, “We are not against delimitation, we are in favor of fair delimitation. Stay rights, continuous action is very important for this.

‘It is necessary to create awareness among people’

Stalin described the meeting as a historic day for the federal structure of India. He said that this meeting started a movement to protect the interests of those states, which have effectively implemented population control measures. Regarding JAC, he said that it is very important to create awareness among the people and urge the Center.

JAC unanimously took this resolution on these issues

• The work of delimitation to the Central Government to improve democracy should be done in a transparent manner. So that political parties, state governments, and other stakeholders of all states can get a chance to discuss, discuss and contribute to it.
• Representative Core Committee of the Sasandas of the states will co-ordinate the parliamentary strategies against any opposite delimitation on behalf of the Central Government.
• The JAC said that the intention behind the 42nd, 84th and 87th Constitution Constitution amendment was to encourage/encourage the state who effectively implemented population control measures and the target of National Population Stabilization has not yet been achieved. According to JAC, the ban on the determination of parliamentary constituencies on the basis of Jananga should be freezed for the next 25 years.
• States that have effectively implemented the population control program and resulting in a decrease in their population should not be punished. The central government should make the necessary constitutional amendment for this purpose.
• The Core Committee of MPs will inform the Honorable Prime Minister of India about the problem of joint form on the above issues during the current parliamentary session.
• Political parties of various states representing in the meeting will try to bring a assembly proposal in their respective states on this issue and will inform the Central Government.
• JAC will make a strategy to get public support and campaign among the citizens of their respective states about the history of delimitation and its results.

Stalin expressed concern over delimitation process

Stalin has expressed concern that if the delimitation moves forward on the basis of future census data, state can lose its representation in state Parliament like Tamil Nadu. He said that this will compromise their rights and democracy will be destroyed. This meeting was attended by leaders from many southern states including Kerala, Telangana and Punjab. Stalin further said that the next meeting of JAC will be held in Hyderabad. He urged all opposition parties to unite against this delimitation process together.
