Press Statement

 

The Polit Bureau of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) has issued the
following statement:

 

Cauvery Dispute: Eschew Violence, Maintain Normalcy

 

The Polit Bureau of the CPI(M) is shocked and dismayed at the reports of
violence and arson in Karnataka and some parts of Tamilnadu.

 

The Polit Bureau appeals to the people of both the states to maintain calm
over the Supreme Court decision on the sharing of Cauvery river waters.  The
Polit Bureau calls upon the state governments of Karnataka and Tamilnadu to
ensure the protection of people's lives and properties.

 

The dispute over sharing of the Cauvery river waters is a longstanding
dispute between the states of Karnataka and Tamilnadu. Such disputes can
only be resolved through negotiations and a mutual agreement on how these
waters are to be shared.  Such disputes cannot be resolved by whipping up
passions amongst the people of both the states and pitting them against each
other.

 

In the case filed by the Tamilnadu government to implement the Tribunal
award on the Cauvery water issue, the Supreme Court has ordered to release
15000 cu.ft/sec of water for ten days on daily basis.  In spite of
reservations, the Karnataka state government has released water. 

 

The Polit Bureau of the CPI(M) urges upon all concerned, the Central
government and the state governments, to ensure that the water sharing
disputes be resolved through negotiations and mutual agreement.
