Stalin petitions TN Guv on release of Rajiv case convicts

Chennai, Nov 24 (UNI) Opposition DMK President M K Stalin
on Tuesday petitioned Tamil Nadu Governor Banwarilal Purohit
seeking the release of seven life convicts in the Rajiv Gandhi
assassination case, citing the CBI's submission in the Supreme
Court.
In a letter, which was handed over to Mr Purohit by Mr Stalin
at the Raj Bhavan, he said the DMK has been continuously
demanding the release of seven convicts--Nalini, V.Sriharan
alias Murugan, Santhan, A.G.Perarivalan, Jayakumar, Robert
Pyas and P.Ravichandran--who were undergoing the long
endless agony of imprisonment for about 30 years.
Later, talking to reporters after meeting the Governor, the
DMK Chief said'' Mr Purohit explained the legal issues and
on our part we also explained our stand''.
He said he also cited the release of AIADMKmen convicted in
the Dharmapuri bus burning case and requested the Governor
to take a decision immediately on the release of the seven
convicts on humanitarian grounds.
To a question, Mr Stalin he was satisfied with the response of
the Governor.
In his letter, he said on a plea filed by Perarivalan, one of
the convicts in the case, the CBI in its sworn affidavit filed
before the Apex Court on November 20 has categorically
stated that the petitioner (Perarivalan) is not the subject
matter of further investigation carried out by the Multi-
Disciplinary Monitoring Agency (MDMA).
''The relief prayed for is an issue between the petitioner and
the Office of His Excellency Governor of Tamilnadu'', he said
and added that so far as relief is concerned in the present
matter CBI has no role.
In its 24-page affidavit filed before the Apex Court, the CBI
said it was entirely left to Mr Purohit to decide on releasing
Perarivalan.
Stating that it has no role whatsoever in the issue, the CBI
said the question of remission is wholly between Mr Purohit
and Perarivalan.
