<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->All Tamil movies will be taken off theatres across Karnataka from Wednesday to protest against the Hognekal issue. The members of the Karnataka Rakshana Vedike, who met in Bengaluru on Tuesday, also decided that no Tamil channels will be aired anywhere in Karnataka from Wednesday onwards.
Members of the Vedike, led by their leader Narayana Gowda, said that there was a need to convey a strong message to Tamil Nadu, who have been adamant about going ahead with the Rs 1,330 crore drinking water scheme in Dharmapuri and Krishnagiri near the Hognekal falls on the Karnataka-Tamil Nadu border.
The Hognekal falls is fed by the Cauvery River and the sharing of water from this river is a subject matter of litigation. The contention advanced by Karnataka is that TN has no approval of the Union government to go ahead with the project and also an appeal against the verdict of the Cauvery River Waters' Tribunal is pending before the Supreme Court of India.

Here they go again.
Now, this is the problem. Two "states" (purely administrative units) must be logically at conflict here. But at conflict is ethic set of tamil and kannada speaking people. Why? because tamil=TN and kannada=Karnataka.
