DMK president MK Stalin released a statement on Sunday amid reports that Lanka was hopeful of India's support at the UNHRC session, saying that Prime Minister Narendra Modi's 'silence' over the issue has sent a big 'shock' among Tamilians. Stalin said he was shocked to hear Sri Lankan Foreign Secretary claim that he expected India to vote in favour of Sri Lanka at UNHRC on the island nation's rights and accountability record.
