Chennai: DMK
president M.Karunanidhi Thursday termed the UNHRC resolution
passed on Sri Lanka as "useless" and said India did not bother
about the Tamils in the island nation.
Speaking to reporters here, he said: "The resolution has been
watered down to the effect that it has turned out to be useless."
According to him, the resolution did not contain what the party
had stressed on and wanted to be said.
Karunanidhi said an impression was created in the minds of
students and others that something big would result from the US
resolution but in the end, it was weakened.
To a query, he said: "I will not say the central government
betrayed Tamils. But it did not bother."
Karunanidhi said the Tamil Eelam Supporters Organisation (TESO)
will decide the next course on action on what has to be done in
Sri Lanka.
Going by the happenings, he said the party has taken the right
decision in exiting from the central government and the
Congress-led United Progressive Alliance (UPA).
In a statement issued here, Karunanidhi said the DMK's decision to
pull out of the government was inevitable given that the party's
demands were not met as seen by the resolution that was passed in
the UNHRC.
Karunanidhi said: "We got information that India did not propose
even verbally any amendments to the American resolution. India
supported a watered down resolution."
He said the party wanted declaration to the effect that attacks on
Tamils by the Sri Lankan military were "war crimes" and "genocide"
and a time bound probe would be held by an international
commission on the happenings in Sri Lanka.
The party wanted a resolution to this effect be passed in the
Indian parliament as well and the US resolution be amended along
the identical line, but both did not happen.
