DMK pulls out of UPA govt over Sri Lanka Tamils issue
NEW DELHI: The DMK on Tuesday pulled out of the UPA government over the issue of allehed human rights’ violations of Sri Lankan Tamils.
The DMK ministers are set to resign from the UPA government.
Addressing a press conference in Chennai, DMK chief Karunanidhi said that our ministers will submit their resignations shortly.
“The DMK has always worked for the Tamils and has been demanding a tough stance against the Sri Lankan government over war crimes against Tamils, Karunanidhi said.
Karunanidhi had yesterday said he felt “let down” by the “lukewarm” response of the Centre and had demanded amendments in the resolution on Sri Lanka.
One of the amendments was to “declare that genocide and war crimes had been committed and inflicted on the Eelam Tamils by the Sri Lankan army and the administrators.”
The second one was “establishment of a credible and independent international commission of investigation in a time bound manner into the allegations of war crimes, crimes against humanity, violations of international human rights law, violations of international humanitarian law and crime of genocide against the Tamils.”
Karunanidhi said Parliament should adopt the resolution incorporating these two amendments. (India Times)

Set to resign and resigned are poles apart and until DMK walks out nothing should be accepted.
If DMK is so dumb to walk out because of “alleged” accusations happening in another sovereign country just because India made constitutional amendments denying separatism in India… then the UPA should be relieved that these clowns will not bother the Central Govt any longer.
India can get on with their progress quite well without DMK

Tamil Nadu can start a Separatist war, but will not have many takers. Now most of the Indians speak English.
What Tamil Nadu and DMK needs to do is work it out with the help of India and the UN.
Get a $50 Billion Marshall Plan for Sri Lanka from UNHCR to Implement the LLRC. After the politicians and their goons take $25 Billion, still $25 Billion will be left for the country,s development.
India is all about Tamil Nadu? Is it?

Oh! Thanks god ! Indian central government is better-off without those filthy DMK clowns.
Without them now the central government can make important decisions rationally and logically, rather than based on one primitive stone-age race.
This DEAD MAN WALKING appears to be more powerful than the lame duck Barrack Hussein Obama.
he can get whatever he wishes, he should be the 1st president of Tamil Ealam.
