There is a concerted attempt going on to free the killers of Rajiv Gandhi.
Those who advocate the view that the killers should be spared from the hang man’s noose conveniently forget the pain they caused to the people around those they have killed.
It is not merely Rajiv Gandhi they have killed others too, apart from alienating the Tamils of SriLanka from the Indian polity.
Worst is the man who ordered the killers of Rajiv Gandhi, after years of silence, merely said ‘it is a regrettable instance’.
Another argument is the evidence against Perarivalan is insufficient and the Rajiv Gandhi assassination case is not over yet.
-Supreme Court ,Evidences et al is for nothing?
It is another matter that death sentence is to be abolished.
Till such a law is passed,present Law should prevail, not withstanding pressures by a group which can not/refuse to distinguish Freedom Fighters from Criminals.

As the clamour forclemencyfor the three convicts in theRajiv Gandhi assassination casegrows, the Madras High Court on Monday admitted a plea to hear the case seeking to stay their hanging on September 9.
The high court fixed Tuesday to hear the petition.
Harithra, the teenaged daughter of one of the convicts — Murugan — living in an undisclosed place in the United Kingdom, had earlier written to Congress president Sonia Gandhi and Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J. Jayalalithaa appealing to them to forgive her father.
Harithra’s mother Nalini was also sentenced to life imprisonment but the Supreme Court later commuted it to life imprisonment.
Santhan and Perarivalan were the other two assassins who are scheduled to be hanged in the central prison in Vellore on September 9.
