Sri Lanka visit of Indian MPs under cloud

NEW DELHI: The impending visit of an all-party delegation of Indian MPs to Sri Lanka in April is now doubtful after India\'s vote in favour of a US-sponsored resolution on war crimes in the island nation which was adopted at the UN Human Rights Council meeting in Geneva.



\"Whether the visit will happen now or will it will be delayed, we can\'t say at this juncture,\" Congress Rajya Sabha MP and president of the Tamil Nadu Congress unit B S Gnanadesikan told TOI. He said the Centre would take the decision based on inputs from the external affairs ministry which is in touch with the Sri Lankan government.



There has been angry reactions among politicians and media and the Indian embassy in Colombo has warned Indian nationals to be careful. Gnanadesikan said BJP leader of the opposition Sushma Swaraj, named by the government to head the delegation, can fix the dates of the visit according to her convenience.
