The cable said that during a meeting with British Foreign Secretary David Miliband who was on an official visit to India in January 2009, then Indian External Affairs Minister Pranab Mukherjee had told “.. he continued to be concerned by the human rights situation in Sri Lanka and with the way the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) use civilians as human shields".
