The three takeaways from the UPA press conference on the DMK withdrawing support are: One, the government is confident of numbers. Two, the doors are open for negotiations. And three, Chidambaram promises to take care of investors' sentiments.
Three of Congress' top Ministers - P Chidambaram, Kamal Nath and Ashwani Kumar - addressed a press conference to say that they will send a strong message to ensure that Sri Lanka carries out an independent probe into war crimes.
Home Minister Sushilkumar Shinde says there is no threat to the UPA government in the wake of DMK withdrawing support over UN HRC vote against Sri Lanka.
The government is expected to explain its stand on the Sri Lanka issue, over which the DMK decided to withdraw support from the UPA. It has given the government until Friday to come up with a resolution against Lanka in Parliament.
After the DMK's decision to pull out of the UPA, the government has called for a Cabinet meet. The Cabinet committee will discuss the Sri Lanka issue and look for ways to meet the demand put out by the DMK.
The Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi (VCK), which is also part of the UPA coalition, has said that they would also withdraw support from the government. They have one seat in the Parliament.
DMK leader Vasanthi Stanley says it's not about UN resolution now. India must take a strong stand against the Sri Lanka by passing a resolution against the country in Parliament.
