India hints at voting against Sri Lanka at the UN

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.
