Whatever is the assessment of the state governments, we will take it seriously but we will see how we can reconcile the issue," External Affairs Minister S M Krishna said."I would like to assure the Chief Minister that her opinion will certainly be factored in the decision we are going to take," he told reporters here en-route to Singapore.Jayalalithaa had yesterday written to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh asking him to discourage unannounced visits of Sri Lankan dignitaries to the state, saying the people were "greatly exercised" over the Lankan government's conduct on the Tamils issue.She had said the Sri Lankan VIPs be allowed to the state only after consulting the state government.On the demand from parties including AIADMK and Congress' ally DMK that the Centre back a US-sponsored resolution against Colombo in the ongoing session of United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHCR) over alleged war crimes, he said New Delhi will consider every aspect before taking a final stand."Well, we will certainly take into account overall relationship between India and Sri Lanka and the sentiments in our country (Tamil Nadu). We will take every factor into consideration before taking a final call," Krishna said.India is providing a number of humanitarian aids to the internally displaced "Tamil-speaking brothers and sisters" in the island nation, Krishna said, adding that he himself had seen renovation of schools and other works undertaken by it.
