In a huge sigh of relief for Indian boxer Vijender Singh, National Anti-Doping Agency (NADA) announced on Tuesday that the boxer has tested negative in the drug test.
New Delhi/Colombo - Sri Lankan Foreign Minister Gamini Peiris Tuesday urged India to reconsider its stand to vote for the US-backed resolution on alleged war crimes committed against the Tamils.
With Prime Minister Manmohan Singh indicating India is inclined to vote for the resolution, Peiris told his counterpart S.M. Krishna on telephone that India should reconsider its stand, government sources said.
Peiris said Colombo hoped India will assess its request favourably in view of the "excellent bilateral relations" between the two countries.
Krishna alluded to strong sentiments expressed by various political parties over the issue and said the two sides will remain engaged over it.
Amid pressure from coalition ally DMK, Manmohan Singh said Monday that India was inclined to vote for the resolution if it helped give the Tamils in Sri Lanka equality, justice and self-respect.
