The Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) party, on Sunday urged the Indian government to move a resolution at the upcoming United Nations Human Rights Council that sought a referendum that facilitated a political solution favoured by the Tamils in the North-East.
Meeting at the 10th state conference of the DMK party, members passed a resolution that called for the Indian government to call for a United Nations monitored referendum on a political solution for the North-East and an international inquiry into alleged war crimes in the last phase of the conflict between the Sri Lankan Army and the LTTE.
The party further urged the Indian Centre to stand by the U.S resolution against the Sri Lankan government for its human rights violations is moved in the UNHRC, and not fall prey to Sri Lankan government rhetoric.

Sri Lanka is one of the most dangerous places in the world to be a journalist. Tamil journalists are particularly at threat, with at least 41 media workers known to have been killed by the Sri Lankan state or its paramilitaries during and after the armed conflict.
Despite the risks, our team on the ground remain committed to providing detailed and accurate reporting of developments in the Tamil homeland, across the island and around the world, as well as providing expert analysis and insight from the Tamil point of view
