The country is saddened and disappointed by the decision of the Supreme Court to release A.G. Perarivalan, who was convicted in the assassination of former Prime Minister, the Congress said on Wednesday and blamed the Narendra Modi government’s “inaction” that allowed the court to take such a decision.
If those convicted for the assassination of a former Prime Minister is released like this then who will uphold the majesty of law, asked party general secretary and chief spokesperson Randeep Surjewala at a press conference.
“Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi and his government need to answer today: Is this your duplicity and double speak on terrorism? Are you going to be complicit in release of terrorists and murderers of the former Prime Minister of this country? Is it acquiescence by silence?” Mr. Surjewala said.
