Nalini never confessed about the truth in Rajiv assassination case.

Nalini never confessed about the truth in Rajiv assassination case.

In her latest petition, Nalini, 37, has said that since the state government had already consulted the central government while commuting her death sentence to a life term in April 2000, there was no scope for further consultations between the governments to decide on her release. Justice Jyothimani has now posted the matter to June 10 2008 for further hearing. Arrested on June 14, 1991, Nalini was sentenced to death along with 25 others on January 28, 1998. On May 11, 1999, the Supreme Court confirmed the death sentences of four, including Nalini and her husband Murugan. Based on her mercy petition, which was supported by a state cabinet recommendation and an appeal by Sonia Gandhi on humanitarian grounds, the then Tamil Nadu Governor had commuted the death sentence to life imprisonment on April 25, 2000.

While meeting with Priyanka Vadra at the Vellore central prison on March 19. 2008,
Nalini never exposed about her involvement with the LTTE people in Rajiv Gandhi Assassination Plot.

Priyanka Should ask us:


Parthasarathy, who lives in Thiruvallur, was the 24th witness in the case. He says he spent his own money to go to court to give evidence. “No one reimbursed me. I don’t think any of us received compensation either. In fact, we would have died if we hadn’t paid for our own treatment.” Over the years, Parthasarathy has developed kidney and heart problems that his doctor had warned him about. “Both my kidneys failed, I now have my son’s kidney. And I can’t stand for more than half-an-hour.” “We have all shed blood for Rajiv Gandhi,” he says. “Why ask Nalini what happened? Ask us. We saw it all, we’ve felt it all. Priyanka should ask us. No one bothers about us,” says the man who spent 18 years as a Congress functionary.

There are fifteen other Policemen and Congress functionaries, who lost their lives along with Rajiv Gandhi in May21, 1991 at Sriperumbudur. Their families are still shedding tears and remembering the searching of the bodies of their beloved father, son and other friends in the midnight at Sriperumbudur ground and the Hospital’s. Who is going to wipe their tears?

Nalini may be having good conduct. Good conduct alone will not serve any purpose. Without fear or favour, she must talk about the truth, that who are all behind the Rajiv assassination plot. Then only her plea for release may be considered.

Never do evil that good may come of it.
