New Delhi: The question of which way will India vote on the US-sponsored resolution against Sri Lanka has become more complex after the US circulated its draft, a copy of which is with CNN-IBN. While government sources had been indicating they were going to vote along with the US so far, the inclusion in the draft of a recommendation for an "independent international investigation" may make it difficult for India to vote on it, as it goes against the Indian principles of non-interference. 
 
On Thursday, External Affairs Minister Salman Khurshid had reiterated that India will frame its response to the upcoming vote on the basis of views from Parliament, the ground situation and the record of the island nation's government. 
 
Describing the plight of Tamils in Sri Lanka as a "huge humanitarian problem" which has to end, Khurshid said India will ask the island nation's government for an independent inquiry into allegations of human rights violations there. While stating that "a closure must be brought to the 27 years of violence", Khurshid said that "that India does not want to play policeman or big brother". 
 
"I know there are reports of human rights violations. The bottom line remains that devolution (of power) which gives legitimate rights must be implemented in toto," he asserted in the Lok Sabha while replying to a debate on the plight of Tamils in Sri Lanka.
