Prime Minister Manmohan Singh will be meeting Sri Lankan President Mahinda Rajapaksa at Nay Pyi Taw on Tuesday on the sidelines of BIMSTEC summit.
The meeting is taking place when the United States is expected to move a resolution at the UNHRC in March, over the alleged war crimes committed by Sri Lanka during the operations against LTTE rebels.
Sources say India has not seen the current draft of the resolution and will only take the call and react after seeing it.
In 2012 India backed U.S.-sponsored resolution at the U.N. Human Rights Council which called on Sri Lanka to investigate human rights violations during its civil war.
"There is a need for Sri Lanka to do more as far as implementation of the 13th Amendment is concerned, and also the rehabilitation and political devolution of Tamils" Sources added.
Tamil party the DMK has urged the Government of India to support the resolution against Sri Lanka, whereas AIADMK has urged the government to move a separate resolution, sources added
India-Lanka relations have been witnessing turbulence, and are going through a rough weather, since India supported US backed relation at the United Nations.
Relations further ebbed when Prime Minister Manmohan Singh skipped the CHOGM meet held in Colombo in November last year.
