DMK threatens government on Sri Lanka issue

DMK on Friday criticized the central government and warned to withdraw its support from Manmohan Singh led UPA if India does not support US resolution against Sri Lanka on March 21 at UN.

DMK chief M Karunanidhi said, “The situation is reaching a flashpoint. We cannot watch silently…The DMK’s continuance in the Union ministry will turn meaningless if India fails.”

“India should take all efforts to bring about amendments in the US-sponsored resolution in the UNHRC which should seek an independent probe into the genocide by the Lankan government.” The resolution should also seek to identify the war criminals, Karunanidhi said.

DMK leader T R Baalu said, “The students agitation, day by day, has become very tense. I do not know what will happen. I can only remind my friends what happened in 1965 on the language (anti-Hindi) issue. The agitation on language issue has cost the Congress to a very great extent. The congress has lost its rule in TN in 1965 and till now they could not come to power in TN”.
