Chidambaram says there's an ulterior motive behind Kudankulam stir

Chennai, Mar.26 (ANI): Union Home Minister P Chidambaram has said there is "some ulterior motive" behind the Kudankulam nuclear power plant protests.

Addressing Congress workers in his parliamentary constituency of Sivaganga on Sunday, Chidambaram urged the AIADMK Government in Tamil Nadu to work for an early solution to end the protests and the resolve the state's power crisis.

He also said that India supported the UNHRC resolution against Sri Lanka for alleged war crimes "after a serious thinking".

India last week voted for the US-sponsored resolution at the UN's top human rights body censuring Sri Lanka for alleged rights violations during the war against LTTE after persuading the resolution-sponsor to make two changes in the draft so that it became "non-intrusive" and contributes to political reconciliation process in the island nation.
