[ad_1]
PMK founder S. Ramadoss on Sunday stated that Perarivalan, a convict within the Rajiv Gandhi assassination case, needs to be launched instantly on health grounds as he has already spent 30 years in jail.
In a press release, the PMK chief stated the health of Perarivalan and his father had deteriorated and he needs to be launched instantly.
“Former Chief Minister Jayalalithaa had promised Arputhammal that her son would return home. The present government has a responsibility to ensure it,” he stated.
“Perarivalan, who has been released on parole, was advised by a private hospital in Villupuram that he needs further treatment and therefore has to be hospitalised. His father has issues in his spinal cord and he is unable to sit or stand without any help. His mother Arputhammal has spent all her life to bring back her son from jail and he is her only medicine at this age,” he stated.
‘Agony of family’
Dr. Ramadoss stated Perarivalan’s launch had been anticipated for the final six-and-a-half years with none outcome and it had solely added to the psychological stress and agony of the household.
While Jayalalithaa introduced that every one seven convicts within the Rajiv Gandhi assassination case can be launched in 2014, the Central authorities had positioned a number of obstacles.
“The legal protest by Perarivalan who went to the Supreme Court resulted in the court saying that there was no issue with the State government releasing them using powers vested in it by Article 161,” Dr. Ramadoss added.
