CHENNAI: Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin censured the Centre over passage of the Delhi Services Bill. He called it a 'black day' in Indian democracy.

This bill, he said, will reduce Delhi from a State to a municipality. He went on to say that the BJP-led Union Government is not just destroying the opposition parties but even the states ruled by them.

Stalin said not just the people of Delhi but all the Indians will punish BJP for passing this Bill that would tear down administration. He also condemned the Centre for "not giving attention to Manipur but sabotaging Delhi instead."



On Monday, Union Home Minister Amit Shah, after passing the Bill in Rajya Sabha, said the Bill does not violate the Supreme Court judgement and that it aims towards a corruption-free administration in Delhi.

The Bill was sternly opposed by the opposition parties, collectively called INDIA. Delhi's Chief Minister and AAP supremo Arvind Kejriwal took a tour around India to gain support from anti-BJP parties against this Bill.

Servile AIADMK exposed by support to NCT Bill

Taking a dig at the AIADMK for supporting the bill in the Upper House of the Parliament, Stalin said, "I am not shocked by the servile group running a party in the name of Anna supporting and voting in favour of the Bill, which undermines the authority of a Chief Minister elected by the people." It only demonstrates that Edappadi K Palaniswami, who claimed that he was "not a slave of anyone" is crawling like a bonded labourer at the feet of the BJP, Stalin added.
