PMK founder S. Ramadoss reiterated his demand for the immediate release of seven convicts in the Rajiv Gandhi assassination case.
In a statement, he noted that Thursday marked the beginning of 30 years since Perarivalan was arrested in the case.
Dr. Ramadoss also said the Tamil Nadu Governor not taking any decision on their release is condemnable.He also noted that parents of Perarivalan have been longing for his release, but the Governor has been delaying the decision despite the recommendations given to him.
“The 7 convicts have lost 30 years of their life. The Governor should realise this and take a quick decision. The Tamil Nadu government should put pressure on him to take a quick decision,” he said.
