A decision on the participation of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh in the CHOGM Summit in Sri Lanka is likely to be taken tomorrow, highly placed sources said today.

Political parties and various groups in Tamil Nadu are strongly opposed to India’s participation in the summit and the Tamil Nadu Assembly recently adopted a resolution demanding a complete boycott of the event alleging that Sri Lanka has indulged in atrocities against ethnic Tamils.

The matter was discussed in Congress core group meeting last week and is again likely to figure tomorrow in the Cabinet meeting where a final call may be taken.

However, Congress has already said the decision on whether to participate in Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM) was left to the Prime Minister. (PTI)

I believe Mr. Singhe is more concerned about his remaining years on this earth in retirement rather than attending an event that is purely a showcase rather than constructive decisions that will impact on earth. To attend will see mammoth opposition in Tamilnadu and a risk to his life. Stay away Mr. Singhe.

Elmo,
your point is wage. are you going to say that foot dragging was done by us. we are not answerable to India. coming or not is a matter for India. and also Central Govt of India shall not form its foreign policy to satisfy local politics. Can we make foreign policy decisions to satisfy NPC to the detriment country.t to the interest of the country. India as a neighboring country and within the region must have close relations with them. the damage has not been caused so far. not late India can come to SL
