P Chidambaram – Former Union Finance Minister:

India abstained from voting on the Resolution on Sri Lanka in the UN Human Rights Council.

This is a gross betrayal of the Tamil people and their unanimous sentiment and desire.

The people of Tamil Nadu must and will punish the AIADMK- BJP alliance for this grievous blow to the interests of the Tamils.

If Dr S Jaishankar was forced to instruct India’s representative to abstain from voting on the Sri Lanka Resolution in the UN Human Rights Council, he should resign in protest against the betrayal of Tamil interests.
