Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi on Thursday said that he would not voice his opinion on the release of all seven convicts in former prime minister Rajiv Gandhi’s assassination case as a son.
“It is up to the government to decide, I won’t give my personal opinion,” Gandhi said in a statement.
The Tamil Nadu Government has sought the opinion of the ministry of home affairs on releasing all convicts in the case.
Tamil Nadu chief secretary K. Gnanadesikan in a letter to Union home secretary Rajiv Mehrishi said while the state has already decided to release the seven convicts, it is necessary to seek the Centre’s opinion under Section 435 of the Criminal Procedure Code, as they have been in prison for over 24 years.
