India’s urban population % has increased from about 25% in 1970 to about 65% in 2024. When representation and planning continue on older population baselines, the metros and tier-1/2/3 cities are badly under-represented in policy attention and fund allocation. This directly impacts priorities such as housing, transport, water, sanitation, and public services, where urban pressure is highest. Who will raise this injustice on the urban population – irrespective of South, North, East or West?’

First of all the HM’s remarks do not match what’s in the bill. More so, your sub-heading omitted a “to” in ‘Overall representation of south states will go up 24%’ – the minister actually said: ‘Overall representation of south states will go up from 23.76% to 24%.’ These 2 are very different in actual meaning. I hope you can correct this mistake (hopefully unintentional) ASAP
I strongly suggest that as a credible news organization, “The Print” reporters should add fact checks on the assertions made by different parties in this debate (primarily the Home Minister) when publishing this article.

It appears that the HM blatantly lied on the contents of the bill and his assertions have no basis in facts.
