India should come up with a plan to take back the influence in Sri Lanka, if necessary by force

So, India will not vote against us in the UNHRC

Now Pakistan and China already announced their whole hearted support,can India push Srilanka towards its archrival 's camp,that is stupid, so India won't do it,instead even without much bargaining it will vote for Srilanka,

India is definitely neighbour. But definitely not the friend.

While we must not be slaves to any nation since we became highly China oriented this country has to endure one problem after another . Since 2009 have we truly gained anything ?It was said that the war cost this country 1 million per minute . Now without a war where has that money gone ??

India will be good to good bad to bad

Now India has only one option,it has to vote for Srilanka, this vote is very crucial to Srilanka but arch rivals of India, China and Pakistan give their fullest support and number of countries supporting is also high, which turn India is unworthy, if not vote for Lanka, India, land of Koutalya definitely vote for Srilanka,

We are in digital-age, so, India cannot help us the way China helping us develop the nation. Therefore, India'd better keep away from Sri Lanka sans interfering a sovereign country.

Indian PM did not call the President, it is the otherway around. President called the PM to seek support. Read Timesofindia dot com

Very sadly the weak spine seems have come to the fore. Always knee bent for India, always compromise sovereignty for India, always crawling up to India. Absolute gutless shame, whatever the excuses maybe. MM

To appease both SL govt. and Tamil Nadu govt., best strategy for India is to "Abstain" in voting on UNHRC resolution.
