Cong terms Rajiv case convicts’ release unacceptable, erroneous

The Congress, on Friday, termed as unacceptable and erroneous the Supreme Court ruling to free all six convicts serving life imprisonment in the Rajiv Gandhi assassination case.

”The decision of the Supreme Court to free the remaining killers of former PM Rajiv Gandhi is completely erroneous. The Congress party criticises it clearly and finds it wholly unacceptable,” Congress communication in-charge Jairam Ramesh said in a statement.
