Exclusive: Siddharth, Chithha Actor, Forced To Leave Press Conference By Angry Protestors

Siddharth Forced To Leave Press Conference Of Chithha Movie: Pro-Cauvery activists in Bengaluru disrupted actor Siddharth's press conference for his latest Tamil movie 'Chiththa' on Thursday, September 28.

The press event, held in Bengaluru, occurred in the midst of the ongoing dispute with Tamil Nadu concerning the sharing of Cauvery River water.

The activists insisted on an immediate halt to the press conference, expressing their criticism that the event was not actively advocating for a resolution to the Cauvery water dispute. They believed that addressing this pressing issue should take precedence over conducting a press conference.

In Karnataka, protests have erupted due to the distribution of Cauvery water to Tamil Nadu. These protests come in response to the Supreme Court's recent decision not to intervene in the enforcement of water-sharing agreements between the states, as well as the rulings of the Cauvery Water Management Authority and Cauvery Water Regulation Committee.

The Cauvery water dispute is a persistent issue that has frequently generated tensions between the states of Karnataka and Tamil Nadu.
