The politics surrounding the release of seven life convicts in the former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi assassination case was perverse, Tamil Nadu Congress Committee president K.S. Alagiri mentioned in Coimbatore on Thursday.
“If the courts were to order the convicts’ release or if due process of law were followed in their release, the Congress has no objection to it. But it has [objections] to the demand of political parties that are portraying the convicts as Tamils. If that be the case, the political parties should demand the release of life convicts, who had served a certain number of years and the Congress will welcome it. But to specifically demand the release of the seven saying they are Tamils is perverse,” he advised journalists.
Mr. Alagiri needed to know if the police personnel and members of the public who died in the bomb blast that killed Rajiv Gandhi weren’t as Tamil sufficient as the seven convicts and quipped that the political events demanding the convicts’ release may even pressure a signature out of the Governor.

Sasikala wouldn’t have any influence on the State’s politics, he replied in response to a query. “At a time when she [Sasikala] is going to walk out of the prison after serving her sentence, it will do no good to either oppose or garland her. But her release will have no bearing on State politics.”
The DMK-led coalition was one solid on the widespread aim of dislodging the “corrupt AIADMK from power,” he contended. Though there have been political events in the alliance that disagreed on a number of points, they have been collectively on unseating the AIADMK, which had pledged the State’s curiosity to the ruling BJP authorities.
The events have been additionally bonded on the situation of secularism.
Reiterating that the DMK-led alliance was not an opportunistic one however one primarily based on precept, Mr. Alagiri replied that although a number of leaders have been commenting on seat sharing the contesting constituencies, the time had not but arrived to debate the nitty-gritties.
Extending invitation to Makkal Needhi Maiam to affix the DMK alliance, the TNCC president mentioned if MNM chief Kamal Haasan, whose political outlook was just like leaders in the alliance, the place to affix arms with them, it could forestall votes [anti-AIADMK] from getting cut up. And, there was political house for a 3rd entrance in the State, he added.
Earlier, he shared particulars of social gathering chief Rahul Gandhi’s tour of the western districts on January 23, 24 and 25.
