Mr. Stalin stated the silence of Mr. Modi and his failure to make clear his place had created shock among the many Sri Lankan Tamils.
DMK president M.K. Stalin on Sunday stated India ought to vote in favour of the United Nations’ resolution against Sri Lanka for its conflict crimes and human rights violations on March 22.
In a press release in Chennai, he sought Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s intervention to collect the support of different member States and make sure the adoption of the resolution with satisfactory amendments.
“I urge the Prime Minister not to take a stand against the resolution of the United Nations,” he added.
Recalling the interviews of Sri Lankan Foreign Secretary Jayanath Colombage that India has assured support to his nation, Mr. Stalin stated the silence of Mr. Modi and his failure to make clear his place had created shock among the many Sri Lankan Tamils.
“Even though External Affairs Minister Jaishankar visited Sri Lanka and Mr. Modi held telephonic conversation with President Gotabaya Rajapaksa, it is not clear whether the U.N. resolution figured during the discussions. There is no sign that these talks took into consideration the resolution,” Mr. Stalin stated.
“It is a matter of great concern and pain that the BJP government has allowed the Sri Lankan Foreign Secretary to decide India’s stand. Nine crore Tamils living across the globe will not forgive any attempt to betray the interests of Sri Lankan Tamils,” he added.
