Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge writes to Prime Minister Narendra Modi urging an all-party meeting to discuss the Centre’s reported plans to reintroduce a delimitation-linked Constitution amendment bill. Multiple outlets report that Kharge asks for sufficient time for opposition parties to study the revised delimitation proposals before any measure is brought before Parliament. The reports indicate that Kharge’s letter frames the meeting as a way to enable wider consultations ahead of the issue being taken up in the Monsoon Session. Times of India adds that the Congress intends to strongly oppose any reintroduction of the bill, while also aiming to maintain unity among opposition parties during the deliberations. The same source also notes that the Congress supports the goal of women’s reservation but opposes any proposal to link women’s reservation to delimitation. Across sources, the common element is Kharge’s call for inter-party discussions and preparatory time for the Opposition prior to parliamentary consideration of the revised delimitation proposals.
