Not right for political parties to seek Rajiv case convicts’ launch: Alagiri

The Congress will settle for no matter choice the courts tackle the discharge of the seven convicts within the former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi assassination case however it isn’t right for political parties and people to ask for their launch arguing that they’re Tamils, Tamil Nadu Congress Committee president K.S. Alagiri has mentioned.

‘Faith in judiciary’

Mr. Alagiri on Thursday contended that the Congress had not even as soon as interfered within the Rajiv Gandhi assassination case nor sought any particular punishment for the accused because the get together had religion within the justice system and the idea that the courts and legislation would do its responsibility.

“As far as the Congress is concerned, in the matter of the seven convicts, it is for the courts to decide [on their release]. Political parties’ interference or political decisions will lead to injustice and give rise to a different mentality to the people,” he instructed The Puucho.

According to him, one part alone was arguing in favour of their launch claiming that the convicts had been Tamils and should be pardoned and launched.

Mr. Alagiri mentioned convicts shouldn’t be judged on the idea of their faith, caste, the place they belong, or which language they converse.

“Punishing or releasing a criminal is the court’s job, not that of political parties,” he mentioned.

“If political parties or individuals do this mistake of seeking the release of people on such grounds, there will be anarchy in Tamil Nadu, there will be no need for police or courts and people will justify every wrong. This mentality should change,” he mentioned.

When requested concerning the contrarian stand of the DMK, the Congress’ ally, on the difficulty, he mentioned, “It is a different issue. My views on the matter are for everyone,” he mentioned.
