DMK Chief M Karunanidhi today said his party has taken the "right" decision to withdraw support to UPA government by looking at the developments with regard to the passage of the US sponsored resolution against Sri Lanka in UNHRC.

However, he said he would not consider that the Centre has "betrayed" the party.

"By looking at the present developments, I consider we have taken the right decision (withdrawal of support to UPA). I will not call it as a betrayal. (But) They were not concerned.", he told reporters, hours after the resolution was adopted by 25-13 margin at the UNHRC.
 

Noting that he was "not satisfied" with India's stand at the UNHRC, Karunanidhi said a myth was created about the US resolution that something big will come out and there was a lot of anticipation among the people and students.

They were hoping that the US resolution would protect Tamils but it turned out to be a "diluted" resolution and had become 'useless'.
