[TamilNet, Monday, 19 March 2012, 07:36 GMT]
Following extreme pressure from all the political parties and movements in Tamil Nadu, especially after the debate following the recent follow-up documentary by the Channel-4 received its highest attention in Tamil Nadu, the Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on Monday informed the Indian Parliament that India is inclined to vote in favour of the US resolution on Sri Lanka in the UN Human Rights Council, initial reports from New Delhi said.

Meanwhile, informed sources in Tamil Nadu told TamilNet that the Congress leadership was pushed to make the decision as the DMK was considering to pull out its parliamentarians from the Centre and the Tamil Nadu leaders of the Congress Party were concerned of the survival of their party in Tamil Nadu in the coming elections.
