The verdict of the Supreme Court ordering the release of A.G. Perarivalan, who was convicted in former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi assassination case, has ensured the retrieval of State’s rights, asserted his mother Arputhammal here on Saturday.
Perarivalan and his mother met Thanthai Periyar Dravidar Kazhagam (TPDK) general secretary K. Ramakrishnan and members of other organisations at Periyar Padippagam in Gandhipuram. Addressing the mediapersons, Ms. Arputhammal said that her son’s release was “deterred” due to the alleged denial of the State’s rights, because of which she took up a “peaceful struggle” for her son.
