Nalini or anyone connected to the killing of Rajiv Gandhi should be punished.
It was a planned attack by some opposition group in India, whose intention was that Rajiv Gandhi should not be allowed to become the Prime Minister of India. They have had a settlement with LTTE people and this cruel Drama was enacted. Priyanka being a innocent girl, she believed that what Nalini told was all true. But we are giving here the statement of the SC judges for the information of Priyanka and for our reader’s.
Point-by-point, Justice Wadhwa rejected the arguments. “It is not that Nalini did not understand the nature of the crime and her participation. She was a willing party to the crime. We have to see both the crime and the criminal,” he said. “Nalini, in her association with Murugan and others, developed great hatred towards Rajiv Gandhi and wanted revenge. Merely because Nalini is a woman and a mother of the child, who was born while she was in custody, cannot be the ground not to award the extreme penalty to her,” Justice Wadhwa said. “When we think of the crime, we find that along with Rajiv Gandhi 15 others, including personal security officer to Gandhi P K Gupta and Kokilavani, also lost their lives. What about their families, one may ask,” was the poser from Justice Wadhwa to Nalini’s counsel. Justice Quadri, who held the decisive card after Justice Thomas and Justice Wadhwa were divided over award of death sentence to Nalini, appeared torn between emotion and the duty of a judge. “Indeed the dilemma whether sentence of death should be pronounced upon a woman has been troubling my mind for a considerable time. Surely in our culture, a woman has to be treated with beneficence and kindness,” he confessed. “But then in this case the person Dhanu who opted to become a human bomb was a woman. Subha, who gave moral support to sacrifice her life on the anvil of some ideology and to end up annihilating other lives, was also a woman,” he said clarifying the issue factually. “It was not the case that Nalini was caught up in a sudden situation and became a mute comrade — the mind not towing the body. It was indeed the other way round. The part played by Nalini is a candid participation in the crime of conspiracy to assassinate Rajiv Gandhi who was himself a young popular leader so much loved and respected by his fellow citizens and had been PM of India,” Justice Quadri said. “Nalini, in spite of being an Indian citizen, joined the gang of conspirators and engaged herself in pursuit of common intention to commit crime only because she was infatuated by the love and affection developed for Murugan, and thus played her part in execution of the conspiracy which resulted in the assassination of Rajiv Gandhi and death of many police officers and innocent citizens including a small girl,” he said and agreed with Justice Wadhwa that she be awarded death penalty as there was no room for leniency, kindness and beneficence for Nalini in this case.
Many people shed blood at Sriperumpudur on 21st may 1991. Their families are still weeping. Even a single person who was in the conspiracy of Killing Rajiv Gandhi should not be left out. It is the ambition of all people of India.
