The head of the Tamil Nadu Political party, the Dravida Munnethra Kazhagam or DMK, M. Karunanidhi has appealed to the Indian Central Government to support the resolution on Sri Lanka in Geneva and insist on an international, independent and just probe into the alleged war crimes in the island.

The Press Trust of India reports that, Karunandihi, contending that it was India, which watered down the essence of the two resolutions brought earlier at the UNHRC, claimed that Indian officials at the international body were gathering support for Sri Lanka.

The DMK chief also said that the US-sponsored resolution was not to the satisfaction of the Tamils living world over.
