India's Finance, Minister P Chidambaram, hinted of a possible vote in favour of the United States sponsored resolution due to be tabled against Sri Lanka at a session of the United Nations Human Rights Council.
"I'm confident that if phrases in the UN resolution sought credible independent international probe, India would support it," said Chidambaram.
Chidambaram's assurance comes amidst increasing internal pressure on India to take a meaningful stance on Sri Lanka, bolstered by student protests and parliamentary walk out threats by Tamil Nadu MP's.

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
