Politics over convicts

more-in
letter

The politics being played out, especially in Tamil Nadu, over those involved in the assassination of former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi is shocking. There were others too who were affected in the bomb blast and I wonder whether those who are raising the demand now about releasing the convicts have thought about this. What about the sensitivities of the families of the other victims? The perpetrators cannot be unaware of the consequences of their diabolical plot.

It is a matter of regret that no one seems to have thought about the sacrifice of the 15 other people who died along with the former Prime Minister. The agony of their families must be factored in, as Anusuya Daisy Ernest, a retired police officer, and one of those affected during the blast has said (“‘Don’t free Rajiv case convicts’,” September 15). Those who support the convicts have no right to forget this.
