Karunanidhi indicates quitting GOI if international investigations not taken up

If the Government of India is not going to take an effort to modify the US-tabled resolution at Geneva, to have provisions without any ambiguity for an independent international investigation on the genocide that took place in Ilangkai [Sri Lanka], for the identification of the war criminals responsible and for action within a stipulated period of time, there would be no point in the DMK continuing any further in the cabinet of the Government of India, said a press statement of the DMK chief Mr. M. Karunanidhi, released from the DMK Headquarters on Friday. In the wake of varied campaign on the US-tabled resolution at the UNHRC, the DMK wants to make clear of its position with assurance, the press release of Mr. Karunanidhi further said.
