Government to adopt a resolution in Parliament on Sri Lankan Tamils issue

Government proposes to adopt a resolution in Parliament today on Sri Lankan Tamils issue after holding further consultations with political parties.
Briefing media on precarious fluid situation arise after DMK pull out from UPA Coalition, Finance Minister P Chidambaram said, the government intends to move amendments to the draft resolution before the UNHRC on Sri Lankan issue.
He said, the amendments to the draft resolution have already been finalized and India’s permanent representative to UNHRC is in Delhi for consultations who will instructed to move the amendments at the meeting of the UN body. Mr Chidambaram denied media reports that New Delhi worked with the United States to dilute the text of the draft resolution.
Stating that Tamil sentiments can be reflected only through an appropriate resolution in Parliament, Mr Chidambaram wondered why Karunanidhi has suddenly changed his position and decided to withdraw support from the government when it was already in the process of consultations with political parties.
He also affirmed that the government enjoys a majority and will be able to push forward the important legislative business in Parliament.
The Finance Minister categorically made it clear that the government is on the path of fiscal consolidation and expected to bring down fiscal deficit to 4.8 per cent by next financial year. He also asserted that New Delhi will continue to invite foreign investments into the country.
Addressing a news conference in New Delhi this morning, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kamal Nath said, the resolution is being moved keeping in view of the feelings of the people of Tamil Nadu.
To a question, he said, this has nothing do with the DMK pulling out of the UPA government. Mr Nath said a decision on a resolution on Sri Lanka will be taken after the consultation process with political parties is over.
Information and Broadcasting Minister Manish Tewari, who also addressed the news conference, said the government will take decisions in the national interest regarding the policy in international matters.
He said the government has run the coalition at the Centre for the last nine years very successfully. He said doors and windows are always open in a Parliamentary democracy.
And quick to react leader of DMK said,Govt should make sure that perpetrators of the crime are punished through international investigation-T R Baalu,DMK

Sri Lanka today rejected the draft resolution of United States on Human Rights at Geneva and has expressed its intention to call for a vote on the resolution.
Sri Lanka’s Foreign Minister G L Peiris wrote to his counterparts of HRC member countries, saying that drawing disproportionate attention to Sri Lanka’s situation and introducing a resolution that seeks to discredit, single out and humiliate the country are unhelpful and counterproductive to the reconciliation process.
According to a statement issued by the External Affairs Ministry of Sri Lanka, the precedent created by intrusive, biased and politicized actions such as the US sponsored resolution on Sri Lanka would pose a danger for all nations.
The release adds that Sri Lanka rejects the new resolution and would request a vote when the draft resolution is taken up at the Human Rights Council on March 21.
