against Sri Lanka and support the
US-sponsored UN resolution
condemning atrocities against
Tamils. A decision to this effect has
been taken by the Congress core
committee that met yesterday. P
Chidambaram, AK Antony, Sushil
Kumar Shinde, Ahmed Patel, Prime
Minister Dr Manmohan Singh and
Congress president Sonia Gandhi
are members of the committee.
External Affairs minister Salman
Khurshid was a special invitee at
the meeting so that committee
members could understand and
take a reasonable view on the
issue. Khurshid is likely to
announce the Government's stand
on the floor of the Lok Sabha
either on Monday or Tuesday. The
Minister had yesterday told the
House that India was formulating
its response and would get back to
the House once a decision is taken.
