Mar 19, Colombo: Tamil Nadu's Tamil political party led by M. Karunanidhi Tuesday withdrew its support to the central Indian union government over the Sri Lankan Tamil issue, Indian media reported.

The party leader has said that his party would not give any outside support to the union government.

The five DMK ministers in the central government are expected to submit their resignation either today or tomorrow, according to media reports.

Karunanidhi has said that DMK is ready to reconsider its decision if India supports the US-sponsored resolution before March 21.

The US tabled a toned down version of its resolution against Sri Lanka Monday at the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva.
