Chief Minister M.K. Stalin discussing the release of six life convicts in the Rajiv Gandhi assassination case with legal experts on Saturday, the former Prime Minister’s death anniversary, was unnecessary and met with public disapproval, Tamil Manila Congress leader G.K. Vasan said on Sunday.
“On a day when the country observed the anti-terrorism day, the Chief Minister considering the possibility of releasing the six convicts was unfortunate and unnecessary. People have frowned upon his action,” he told journalists here. “The Chief Minister’s action was like rubbing salt in the wound,” he said.
