Party chief M Karunanidhi will chair the meeting on Tuesday morning at its headquarters here, DMK general secretary K Anbazhagan said in a statement here.
The agenda at the meeting would be “India supporting the resolution on Sri Lankan army’s war crimes against Ealam Tamils,” he said.
DMK’s decision is being perceived as a pressure tactic as Karunanidhi had repeatedly stressed on India’s backing of the resolution at the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC).
He had recently said DMK would consider it as a “betrayal of Tamils” New Delhi supporting Colombo even as a Sri Lankan official had claimed to have secured India’s support for it in UNHRC.
The high-level committee is scheduled at a time when DMK has been adopting a ‘blow-hot-blow-cold’ stand on its eight year-old ally Congress.
Asked if he would review his party’s support to the Centre if it failed to concede to its demand in the UNHRC, Karunanidhi had said he cannot take a decision by himself and that the executive would decide on it.
