New Delhi, Mar 23 (IANS): Prime Minister Manmohan Singh Thursday said India's support to the US resolution at the UN against alleged Sri Lankan war crimes was in line with the government's stand and urged Colombo to deliver justice to Tamils in the island nation.
"We have to weigh the pros and cons... What we did is in line with our stand... We don't want to infringe upon sovereignty of Sri Lanka but our concerns should be expressed so the Tamil people can get justice and live a life of dignity," Singh told reporters on the sidelines of the Padma Awards ceremony here.
India voted for the resolution that urged Sri Lanka to probe rights abuses in the war on the Tamil Tigers. The UN Human Rights Commission adopted the resolution with 24 votes in favour, 15 against and eight abstentions.
