Tamil Nadu Congress Committee (TNCC) president K.S. Alagiri on Saturday reiterated that the release of A.G. Perarivalan, one of the seven life convicts in former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi’s assassination case, was unacceptable to his party.
Speaking to reporters at Sathyamurthy Bhavan after paying floral tribute to Rajiv Gandhi’s portrait on his death anniversary, Mr. Alagiri said the apex court had released Perarivalan on legal grounds but had not said he was innocent. He said in his opinion, the court had ruled, taking a wrong angle and it would set a bad precedent.
