The Tamil Nadu government on Wednesday decided to release all the seven convicts serving life term in the Rajiv Gandhi assassination case, a day after the Supreme Court commuted death penalty of three convicts.

An emergent meeting of the State Cabinet chaired by Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa took a decision to set at liberty all the seven convicts, including Nalini and Perarivalan.

Others who will be released include Santhan, Murugan, Robert Pious, Jayakumar and Ravichandran.

Making an announcement in the state Assembly, Jayalalithaa said the state would send the Cabinet decision to the Centre seeking its nod as required under Section Cr.Pc section 435 as the case was filed by CBI in the case.

"If there is no reply within three days from the Centre, the state government will release all the seven under Cr.Pc section 432 in accordance with the powers vested with the state government", she declared.

With this decision, the seven serving life term could be free from jail in three days time.
 
I didn't knew State Government has the power to do that :what:

Foreign terrorists freed for killing an Indian PM and 18 other Indians by "Indians" themselves.. Afzal Garu should have been a Tamil

How many people did the foreign invaders kill in Tamil Eelam in 2009 , who are roaming free in Sri Lanka ?
 
mockery of judicial system, first by ex-President..now the TN assembly.

Well,could this be a snub to the Congress for it's statement regarding Katchatheevu? You give our island to SL, we release LTTE guys who killed Rajiv Gandhi. Fair enough, innit?:D

Considering once she was strongly opposed to them being pardoned from hanging, and supporting SL govt against LTTE, she have now understood playing politics is better than being honest in some cases . :P
Actually its a surprise. JJ is a strong politician, hated by LTTE, and I thought she would keep rest of their life in prison.
More than Katchateevu, its time for Lok Sabha Polls 2014 ;)
