Corroboration: 2 independent outlets

PMK president Anbumani Ramadoss on Wednesday, 4 November renewed his call for 100% caste-based proportional representation, marking 99 years since the Madras Presidency issued Communal Government Order no. 1071 in 1927. He said that while Tamil Nadu’s reservation has risen to 69%, true social justice requires every community to receive reservation in proportion to its population. Dr. Anbumani welcomed Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay’s announcement of a social justice survey and a dedicated commission, which he said followed a demand by the PMK. He urged the state government to take further steps without delay. He also called on citizens to honour the martyrs of the social justice movement and sharpen the struggle for total, caste-proportionate representation.

## Indian Opinion Analysis

Both The Hindu and The Hans India covered Anbumani Ramadoss’s call for 100% caste-based reservation in a uniformly neutral, wire-style manner, quoting his historical references and his welcome of the state government’s planned social justice survey. The Hans India additionally included Anbumani’s appeal to honour martyrs and sharpen the struggle, but neither outlet adopted a pro-government or critical stance. The coverage remains factual and descriptive, with no divergence in framing. The next concrete step is the constitution of the commission for the social justice survey, which Anbumani urged the government to implement without delay.
