New Delhi, Aug 12: The Northeast Students Forum on Delimitation (NESFOD) Friday made a fresh demand for conducting delimitation exercise in the four northeastern states as per the Representation of People's Act, 1950.

They said a memorandum in this regard will be submitted at the Prime Minister's Office.

Members of the forum and other organisations from the NE region held protest at Jantar Mantar here, raising slogans like "we want justice", and "we demand delimitation".

On July 25, the Supreme Court had sought response from the Centre and others on a plea seeking direction to the Election Commission of India to conduct the delimitation exercise in the four northeastern states as per the RP Act.

The apex court had also issued notices to the Ministry of Home Affairs, Ministry of Law and Justice and the Chief Election Commissioner along with the others on the plea filed by the Delimitation Demand Committee.
