India voted against Sri Lanka at the United Nations Human Rights Council by voting in favour of the US sponsored resolution on Lanka, NDTV reports.
Both the government and the LTTE have been accused of atrocities. Sri Lanka has rejected the resolution and has said today that the criticism at the level of the United Nations is not justified. Its representatives described the resolution as “counter-productive to the reconciliation process.”
Earlier this week, Dr Manmohan Singh said in Parliament that India “is inclined to vote in favour of the resolution.” The Prime Minister had been warned that if India did not vote against Sri Lanka, his key ally, the DMK, would pull out of the government.
