Karnataka is witnessing violent protests on Monday, Sept. 12, even as the Supreme Court modified its order on the Cauvery water-sharing issue. The state was shut down by a bandh on Friday, Sept. 9, over the Supreme Court's order to release Cauvery water to Tamil Nadu. The apex court had, in a fresh order, on Monday reduced the quantum of water to be given to the neighbouring state.

hmmm... It has nothing to do with the 'issue'. anti-Tamil sentiment is normal in bangalore. That's why I laugh at people who call Bangalore as cosmopolitan.

[Yuva Nataratna]

Any day, the order from the supreme court is final..... Karnataka is doing it the wrong way, these protests might be having some support from the govt as well....

[VizagRocks]

Karnataka, like Trump, gets away with spitting on Institutions, by ignoring Tribunal awards, and Supreme Court directives.

Then pretends that it has a case.
