DMK has withdrawn its support to the UPA Government over the Sri Lankan Tamils issue.

A five-member DMK delegation headed by T R Baalu handed over a letter by party supremo M Karunanidhi to President Pranab Mukherjee last night at 10.30 PM at Rashtrapati Bhavan withdrawing support of its 18 Lok Sabha MPs to the UPA government.

Mr. Baalu told reporters that DMK ministers will meet Prime Minister Manmohan Singh today to submit their resignations.

On replying to a question about DMK's support to UPA government from outside, Mr. Baalu said the decision lies with party Supremo Karunanidhi.

DMK has been pressing ahead with its demand that India should push for amendments to a US-sponsored resolution in the UN Human Rights Council for an independent international probe into genocide of Sri Lankan Tamils.
