Dharwad, Jan 16: Noted journalist Patil Puttappa (Papu) said on Tuesday that the supply of essential commodities to Goa would be stopped if leaders from the neighbouring state made derogatory statements about Kannadigas.

Papu told a press conference that leaders from Goa should learn decorum and not make childish remarks. He said many Goa depends on Karnataka for many essential commodities, including milk. Yet, Goan leaders are making irresponsible comments against Karnataka. This was unacceptable in a federal set-up, the writer said.

The writer demanded that Prime Minister Narendra Modi should intervene to resolve the Mahadayi water dispute.
