Good morning. With Dravidian parties mounting pressure on Centre to support a resolution in UNHRC against Sri Lanka for alleged war crimes, External Affairs Minister SM Krishna has said the government will study the draft of the
resolution and consult Tamil MPs before taking a call.

The DMK has given a notice for discussion of the Lanka issue in Parliament.

 "The minister is concerned over human rights. Once draft of the resolution is made, India will study it and consult MPs and take a call," official sources said. "Krishna is giving importance to views of MPs from Tamil Nadu," they said. Parties in Tamil Nadu want the government to support the resolution.

AIADMK and DMK had disrupted proceedings in Parliament last week to press their demand for supporting US-sponsored resolution in the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) based in Geneva. The resolution against Sri Lanka moved by the US, France, and Norway is scheduled to be taken up on March 23 in the UNHRC meeting.
