India may vote against Sri Lanka again

India is most likely to vote against Sri Lanka when its human rights record comes up for evaluation before the United Nations Human Rights Council in March, according to a senior official who did not want to be named.

Sri Lanka had an opportunity to highlight elections to the Tamil-majority Northern Province as one concrete attempt at political reconciliation. But Colombo seems to have “squandered it by locking horns” with the newly elected provincial government.

The provincial elections apart, Sri Lanka does not appear to have done enough to make countries like India that voted against it last year to change their minds.(The Hindu)

India in a desperate situation to save its place in Asia from China using a US bootlicking strategy. If it looses friends in Asia bootlicking of US alone does not help. via DM Android App
