Pro-Kannada organisations, after taking to the streets over the Cauvery issue for days, are now looking at ways to carry forward their agitation.
Karnataka Rakshana Vedike, which spearheaded the Cauvery agitation in the Cauvery basin on Friday, is now planning to intensify its agitation by not allowing any activities related to Tamil Nadu in Karnataka.
Vedike president TANarayana Gowda on Saturday said that during the 1991 Cauvery agitation, protests against Tamil Nadu went on for three months.
"Telecast of Tamil TV channels, screening of Tamil movies, circulation of Tamil newspapers and vehicular movement between the two states was blocked for three full months over the Cauvery river water sharing issue. We are planning to launch a similar agitation now. A final decision would be taken in a couple of days. We need to send a strong message to Tamil Nadu," he added.
He also said the Vedike is planning to lay siege to Vidhana Soudha to prevent politicians from entering the building.
