Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin on Thursday burnt a copy of the delimitation Bill and dubbed it a "black law", alleging it seeks to make the Tamil people "refugees" in their own land.

Stalin hoisted a black flag and burnt a copy of the Bill circulated by the Union government and raised slogans condemning the move.

"Poradavom, Velvom ondraga" [Let us struggle, win together] was among the slogans raised by Stalin and others clad in black.

The DMK, headed by Stalin, said that it will move the Supreme Court against the delimitation bill, if it is passed in the Parliament.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday asserted that no state - big or small, north or south, or east or west - will be discriminated against in the delimitation of constituencies.
