Karnataka demands share in Indus water

Bengaluru.

Dozens of people in Bangalore have started rioting on the streets demanding a share in the waters of Indus river. Early reports indicate that two buses have been burnt and several injured.

"We demand our rightful share in the Indus water. After all, once upon a time, the place was called Harappa. Which clearly shows that it belonged to Kannadigas", thundered CM Yeddyurappa.

"We'll not rest until we get justice. This is a matter of Kannadiga pride. First, our neighbours steal all our Cauvery water. Now, those Indus valley guys are also stealing our water", exclaimed Bangarappa, founder of Karnataka Vikas Party.

"Wow, why didn't I think of that?", wondered famous cartoonist Ponnappa, hurrying off to draw something funny about the issue.

"The BCCI has asked us not to speak to the media. So no comments," said Robin Uthappa, deftly avoiding the topic. Pity he doesn't show the same deftness when it comes to Brett Lee's bouncers.

""Why is no one asking for my views? Everyone goes after these two-bit cricketers, while hockey players are always ignored", sobbed Len Aiyappa.

"Yo guys, before we play your next song request, lemme make a special announcement. We. Want. Indus.", said chirpy MTV VJ Nikhil Chinnappa, before proceeding to play the song 'dumb dumb diga diga, main hoon kannadiga'.

"What next? These guys will claim me as a Kannada actor?", wondered Sarath Kumar, popularly known as Chittappa after he married Radhika (of the mega serial fame).
