She was responding to a question whether the DMK will pull out of the UPA government if India does not support the resolution in the UN against Sri Lankan Government over alleged human rights violations during the last phase of the civil war.

The DMK and its archrival AIADMK have been demanding that India support the resolution. However, India has not yet announced its stand on the issue.

Kanimozhi said the DMK has called a meeting of its executive body to discuss the Sri Lankan issue.

"I am sure that the Central Government will understand what we are saying and it will support the resolution," she told a television channel.
