Bangalore: The opposition Congress and JDS on Tuesday made a forceful plea in the Karnataka Legislative Assembly against notification of the 2007 Cauvery Water Disputes Tribunal award, underlining that the move would amount to grave injustice to the State’s interests.

Chief Minister Jagadish Shettar said a meeting of the floor leaders of the Karnataka legislature would be convened on Wednesday to discuss the issue and spell out the State’s stand clearly.

The Supreme Court on Monday directed the Centre to notify the award by February 20. It also directed Karnataka to release two tmc ft of Cauvery water to Tamil Nadu but did not issue any timeframe for the same.

Raising the issue in the Assembly, Leader of Opposition Siddaramaiah referred to the Supreme Court order in which it was mentioned that Karnataka had expressly stated that it had no objections to its notification, and demanded that the Government clarify its stand on the issue.

“Why this sudden change in the Government stand?”, he asked, calling for a detailed debate on the issue. (PTI)
