QUIT CALL TO PAK ARTISTES

MUMBAI: The Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) on Friday gave a 48-hour ultimatum to all Pakistani cine and television artistes here to quit India or face consequences. The Mumbai police promptly responded, saying foreign artistes holding valid documents need not worry. MNS Chitrapat Sena chief Ameya Khopkar told the media that there was "an antiPakistan" wave across India after the September 18 terror attack that left 18 Indian soldiers dead at Uri in Jammu and Kashmir. "The MNS calls upon all Pakistanis working in Indian tele-serials, films and other shows to leave the country within 48 hours. If they fail to do so, we shall deal with them in our own style," Khopkar warned. The party also warned it would not permit the release of any Bollywood films having Pakistani actors, including the upcoming "Aye Dil Hai Muskhil" and "Raees". NO WATER, SAY K’TAKA BENGALURU: The Karnataka Legislative Council on Friday unanimously decided not to release Cauvery water to Tamil Nadu, saying the water was needed for drinking purposes in the state.

After the subject was discussed, the Council passed an unanimous resolution that the water in the dams would be used for drinking purposes in the state and that the water can't be released to Tamil Nadu.
