Vote on Lanka: Centre tries to pacify DMK

Seeking to placate UPA ally Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) which has threatened to pull out of Union Cabinet over plight of Sri Lankan Tamils, Union Minister V Narayanasamy on Saturday (March 16) said a final decision on a US resolution on the issue will be taken keeping in mind the emotions of people of Tamil Nadu. "In Tamil Nadu, the issue is very emotive and sensitive for the people and political parties. Therefore, the DMK and its leader M Karunanidhi have mentioned the sentiments on that," he told reporters in New Delhi.
