[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Two persons including a police inspector died in violence that flared up in Shyana area of Bulandshahr district in Uttar Pradesh during protests over alleged cow slaughter.

Media reports quoting a senior Uttar Pradesh police officer said the incident took place around a little before 11 noon. The officer said some people had earlier complained about a case of cow slaughter in the forested area near the village. “On this information, the police and executive magistrate reached the spot,” the officer was quoted as saying.

But for some reason, the people started getting agitated over the lack of what they perceived was inadequate police action and started loading the remnants of the animals in their tractors.

The officer, Inspector Subodh Kumar Singh, was killed in firing when the mob, throwing stones, took on the police who had arrived to restore law and order. Another policeman, a constable, is in a serious condition.

The mob of villagers, numbering around 300-400 reached the police station, UP’s additional director general of police Anand Kumar told NDTV. They attacked a police station, setting a police van to fire.

While the situation is tense, a heavy police force has been deployed in the area to restore peace.

A Special Investigation Team has been formed to investigate the cow slaughter and the mob violence, reported NDTV. Security has been bolstered in the area with five companies of Rapid Action Force and six companies of Provincial Armed Constabulary.

“One police inspector has been killed and police is being mobilised to Bulandshahr after clashes in the area,” Civil Lines (Aligarh) police official told indianexpress.com. The killed police officer has been identified as Inspector Subodh Verma, who was injured in the attack and was declared brought dead in the hospital.

According to the District Magistrate, protests in the area began after people found the alleged carcass of a cow in the field and blocked a road in the area. Upon receiving the information the police reached the spot and tried to get the roads open when some unwanted elements started pelting stones and attacked the police party. During the protest, police opened fire to scatter the crowd following which the mob attacked the police station. The mob vandalised the station while setting arson to police vehicles.

The police say they are trying to divert vehicles from the area to ease tensions.

The news follows reports highlighting communal harmony between Hindus and Muslims, seen in opening up a Shiv Mandir to let Muslims offer namaz. There were several celebratory messages and reports about this and tweets like this were seen on social media: “Namaz in Shiv temple Premises. Bulandshahr Hindu Samaj sets an example by allowing Muslims to perform Namaz in Hindu temple as large gathering of Community gathered for Tablighi Ijtima in town”

This apparently did not suit some elements and the present problem was likely a result of this. There were attempts to further inflame communal passions, with posts on social media linking it to a Muslim program of Ijtema and Bulandshahr police had to ask people to desist from spreading hateful propaganda.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_raw_html]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[/vc_raw_html][/vc_column][/vc_row]

Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Thursday addressed concerns over the proposed delimitation exercise, asserting in the Lok Sabha that southern states will not lose representation but instead see an increase in their number of seats.

His remarks came during a heated debate linked to the implementation of women’s reservation, where opposition parties have raised fears that population-based delimitation could reduce the political weight of southern states.

Shah rejected these claims, calling them misleading, and said the proposed framework ensures fairness while expanding the overall strength of the Lok Sabha.

Seat count to rise with expansion of Lok Sabha

The government has indicated that the total number of Lok Sabha seats could increase significantly as part of the delimitation process. In this expanded House, the combined representation of southern states is expected to rise from 129 seats at present to around 195 seats.

Shah emphasised that no state will lose seats in absolute terms, and the exercise is designed to reflect population changes while maintaining balance across regions.

State-wise projections shared in Parliament

During his address, Shah also provided indicative figures for individual southern states, suggesting notable increases in representation. According to the projections:

  • Tamil Nadu could see its seats rise substantially
  • Kerala, Telangana, and Andhra Pradesh are also expected to gain additional seats
  • Karnataka’s representation may increase as well

These figures were presented to counter the argument that delimitation would disproportionately favour northern states.

Political debate intensifies over linkage with women’s quota

The delimitation exercise has been closely linked to the rollout of women’s reservation, which proposes one-third seats for women in Parliament and state assemblies.

Opposition leaders have questioned this linkage, arguing that tying reservation to delimitation could delay its implementation and raise federal concerns. Some leaders have also warned that the move could impact national unity if apprehensions among states are not addressed.

The government, however, maintains that the reforms are necessary to ensure equitable representation and to align the electoral system with demographic realities.

Centre dismisses ‘false narrative’ on southern states

Shah reiterated that concerns about southern states losing influence are unfounded. He said the delimitation process will increase representation across regions and described the criticism as a “false narrative” aimed at creating confusion.

The issue is expected to remain a key flashpoint as Parliament continues discussions on the women’s reservation framework and related legislative changes.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi has assured that there will be no discrimination in the implementation of women’s reservation, as Parliament witnessed a sharp debate over the proposed linkage between the quota and delimitation exercise.

During the ongoing special session, the government reiterated its commitment to ensuring fair representation while addressing concerns raised by opposition parties regarding the timing and structure of the legislation.

The proposed framework aims to reserve 33 percent of seats for women in the Lok Sabha and state assemblies. However, its implementation is tied to a fresh delimitation exercise, which is expected after the next census.

Opposition questions timing and intent

Opposition leaders have raised concerns that linking the women’s quota to delimitation could delay its implementation. They argue that the process of redrawing constituencies may push the actual rollout further into the future.

The issue has triggered a broader political confrontation, with multiple parties questioning whether the move could alter representation across states.

Some critics have also alleged that the delimitation exercise could disproportionately benefit certain regions based on population, a charge the government has rejected.

Government reiterates commitment to fair implementation

Responding to these concerns, the Centre has maintained that the reforms are necessary to ensure accurate and updated representation based on population data.

Leaders from the ruling side have repeatedly emphasized that the process will be carried out transparently and without bias. The assurance that there will be “no discrimination” is aimed at addressing fears among states and opposition parties.

The debate marks a key moment in Parliament, with both sides engaging in intense exchanges over one of the most significant electoral reforms in recent years.

A heated exchange broke out in Parliament during discussions on the women’s reservation framework, with Union Home Minister Amit Shah and Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav locking horns over the demand for a sub-quota for Muslim women.

The debate unfolded as the government pushed forward key legislative measures to implement 33% reservation for women in the Lok Sabha and state assemblies.

Akhilesh Yadav argued that the proposed reservation must ensure representation for women from marginalised communities, including Other Backward Classes (OBCs) and Muslim women. He said that without such provisions, large sections could remain excluded from political participation.

He also questioned the timing of the bill, alleging that the Centre was avoiding a caste census. According to him, a census would lead to renewed demands for caste-based reservations, which the government is reluctant to address.

Government rejects religion-based quota

Responding to the demand, Amit Shah made it clear that reservation based on religion is not permitted under the Constitution.

He stated that any proposal to provide quota to Muslims on religious grounds would be unconstitutional, firmly rejecting the idea of a separate sub-quota for Muslim women within the broader reservation framework.

The government has maintained that the existing framework already includes provisions for Scheduled Castes (SC) and Scheduled Tribes (ST) women within the overall reservation structure.

Wider political divide over implementation

The issue of sub-categorisation within the women’s quota has emerged as a major flashpoint, even as most opposition parties broadly support the idea of women’s reservation.

Samajwadi Party leaders reiterated that their support for the bill depends on inclusion of OBC and minority women, while the government continues to defend its constitutional position.

The debate is part of a broader discussion during the special Parliament session, where multiple bills linked to delimitation and implementation of the women’s quota are being taken up.
