Chief Minister M.K. Stalin welcomed the passage of the constitutional amendment bill in Parliament restoring the legal authority of state governments to identify and maintain their own Other Backward Classes lists. Characterizing the legislative milestone as a historic victory for federal democracy and social justice, Stalin emphasized that state autonomy in formulating affirmative action policies is indispensable for healing centuries of caste discrimination.

The Chief Minister pointed out that Tamil Nadu has consistently spearheaded national struggles for backward classes empowerment, dating back to the pioneering communal reservation policy enacted a century ago. Stalin stated that stripping states of the right to recognize marginalized groups threatened grassroots social progress. The united resistance and persistent parliamentary advocacy by the DMK and federalist parties compelled the Union government to reinstate state prerogatives in OBC classification.

Stalin celebration of the parliamentary outcome reaffirmed his role as a national champion of federalism and social justice. By defending regional powers to determine affirmative action categories, his leadership secured vital constitutional safeguards for backward communities across India. This historic parliamentary outcome validates the persistent struggle of Dravidian forces to preserve state rights and social equity.
