“The court must have released as per law but they remain culprits in the assassination case.”
Former Chief Minister V. Narayanasamy on Friday said the celebrations by certain outfits over the release of A.G Perarivalan, a life convict in the Rajiv Gandhi assassination case, shows their “crooked” mindset.
“The court must have released as per law but they remain culprits in the assassination case. They will certainly get punishment under the court of God. Celebrations by certain outfits reflects their crooked mindset. It has pained people who love and admire Mr Gandhi,” he said addressing a press conference.
When asked about the support extended by Congress party’s allies, including DMK, to the decision of Supreme Court to free Perarivalan, the senior Congress leader said “I can only express my views as a Congress worker. I cannot comment on the decisions of others”.
While residents are worried over deaths due to diarrhoea in Vijayawada, officials still grapple to find the root cause. Contaminated drinking water supplied by VMC officials is the reason, insist people in the affected areas, but officials insist that efforts are on to identify the disease and that those with symptoms other than diarrhoea too are visiting the health camps.
