Sampanthan  yesterday said India’s failure to support the US-backed resolution at  the UNHRC will ‘hurt’ the Tamil people of Sri Lanka.  “India seems to be against the resolution. I’m not  speaking only on behalf of the Tamil people, but the Tamil people in Sri  Lanka will be hurt,” Sampanthan said speaking to Ceylon Today.  “India is a neighbouring country, and I think they would  make a careful decision. They I think are interested in making a  decision that will enable them to play a role,” he said.  India has so far remained non-committal about the stance  they would take during the Human Rights Council sessions, despite  growing pressure from the Tamil populated South.  “The US will not antagonize India. Any move that is done  in India’s backyard will be done in a way that the Indo-American  relations are not damaged,” a source close to Washington said last  month, when the resolution was at discussion phase.  The US has tabled a draft resolution, which calls for reconciliation and accountability in Sri Lanka.CT</blockquote>
