Pm On Lankan War Crimes

Hours after getting a resolution passed in the Assembly today on the Sri Lankan issue, seeking an international probe into allegations of war crimes in that country, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Jayalalithaa urged PM Modi to take immediate action over it.

The Prime Minister faces a growing chorus within his Congress party to miss a Commonwealth summit in Colombo over Sri Lanka's alleged war crimes against Lankan Tamils, though his office has advised him to attend the event.

Dismissing as "non-committal" and "futile" Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's statement on India's stand on the US-backed resolution against Sri Lanka at the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC), Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa today said it made no reference to alleged human rights violations by Colombo.

In Parliament today, parties from Tamil Nadu demanded that the government reveal its stand on the alleged war crimes committed by the Sri Lankan government. The DMK, a senior member of the UPA at the centre, has said that India must vote against Sri Lanka at the upcoming session of the United Nations Human Rights Council in Geneva.
