Mar 02, Chennai: India will not take any hasty decisions on the Sri Lanka issue but will take steps based on the resolution passed at the United Nations Human Rights Council, an Indian minister has said.

The Union minister of state in Prime Minister's Office (PMO) V. Narayanasamy has told reporters today that the central government of India is closely monitoring the situation in Sri Lanka and will take all steps for the safety of Tamils in the island.

"India was closely monitoring the situation over the Sri Lankan Tamils issue in the Island Nation and was taking all steps for their safety," the Minister has been quoted in Indian media.

Narayanasamy has said that the Centre would not take any hasty decisions on Sri Lanka.

"India will take steps based on what kind of resolutions comes in the UN HRC meet and what kind of resolutions passed in it. It will not be fair for India to support the resolution taken in Geneva before it gets passed," he has said.
