Karnataka MPs to meet PM tomorrow on Cauvery

New Delhi, Mar 12 (UNI) A delegation of Karnataka MPs will meet Prime Minister Manmohan Singh tomorrow to highlight the ''injustice'' caused to state by the final order of the Cauvery Water Disputes Tribunal.

The MPs, who made a vain attempt to raise the issue in Lok Sabha under rule 193, decided to seek an appointment with Prime Minister.

Their bid raise the discussion was stoutly opposed by Tamil Nadu MPs forcing the Speaker not to allow discussion on an emotive issue like Cauvery as it could raise passions on the streets of riparian states.

The MPs belonging to BJP, Congress and Janata Dal (Secular) would gather at the chambers of Rajya Sabha Deputy Chairman K Rehman Khan before they meet the Prime Minister.

In the meanwhile several Kannada organisations will continue their street demonstrations in front of Jantar Mantar in Delhi.
