Mooving a resolution which was unanimously adopted by the Tamil Nadu Assembly, Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa accused the previous UPA government of not fulfilling the state's demands vis-a-vis the ethnic issue.
She charged the Sri Lankan government with carrying out 'planned' attacks against Tamils in 2009 and said a UN appointed commission had found out that many "inhuman" acts were performed against the ethnic minority.
Jayalalithaa said that the "same America which brought a resolution at the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) against Sri Lanka" earlier seeking international investigation on these issues had now proposed an internal probe by Colombo.
"There are reports that US could move a resolution at the UNHRC (in this regard.) This is contradictory to natural justice," she said.

"The Tamil Nadu Assembly requests the Government of India that if America takes a stand supportive of Sri Lanka (at the UNHRC), then India must take diplomatic efforts to change that," the resolution moved by Jayalalithaa, said.
"A situation has emerged at the UNHRC wherein Sri Lanka, based on its response,will be allowed to probe the war crimes. Indian government has the responsibility to stop this," she said.
Further, the Northern Provincial council in Sri Lanka headed by Chief Minister N Wigneswaran had adopted a resolution against any internal investigation into war crimes, saying it would not ensure justice to Tamil victims, she said.
