Nalini’s sins will never be washed away unless she tells the truth in Rajiv Gandhi assassination case.
Nalini, supporter of LTTE sentenced to death in the assassination case of Rajiv Gandhi, was also awarded capital punishment. Her sentence was later commuted to life imprisonment after Sonia Gandhi pleaded for clemency for the sake of the convict's daughter.
Priyanka Vadra, who has created a surprise by meeting one of the conspirators in her father Rajiv Gandhi's assassination, on Tuesday said she does not believe in anger, hatred and violence and will not allow these to overpower her. It is true that I met Nalini Sriharan in Vellore central jail on March 19, 2008. It was my way of coming to peace with the violence and loss that I have experienced," she said.
Fifteen years after a LTTE suicide bomber killed Rajiv Gandhi in Sriperumbudur, the Tamil rebel outfit on Tuesday admitted its responsibility for the crime and delivered a public apology. In an interview to a TV network on Tuesday, Anton Balasingham, LTTE ideologue and one of Tiger chief Velupillai Prabhakaran's confidants executed a major shift of policy, describing the May 21, 1991, killing of Rajiv Gandhi as "a monumental historical tragedy".
"As far as that event is concerned...I would say it is a great tragedy... a monumental historical tragedy... which we deeply regret, and we call upon the government of India and people of India to be magnanimous to put the past behind... and to approach the ethnic question in a different perspective," Balasingham said.
Asked if the LTTE could promise that it would not commit such acts again, Balasingham added: "We have made pledges to the government of India that under no circumstance will we act against the interests of the government of India."
Thus far, the LTTE has denied that it was responsible for the killing of Rajiv Gandhi. Reacting to the LTTE admission, Congress general secretary Digvijay Singh said: "It's good that after so many years they (LTTE) have admitted to having killed Rajiv Gandhi.
For India, it was a national tragedy because Rajiv Gandhi was the most popular leader of his time. Now the question is of fixing responsibility for the crime."
To the world, it was a stunning revelation to learn that Priyanka Vadra had met Nalini, in coimbatore, serving a life term for involvement in Rajiv Gandhi's assassination. For Priyanka, it was an attempt to attain closure, to come to terms with the tragic loss of her beloved father. But how did Nalini feel about the meeting?
According to the account she gave to her brother, it was a singularly emotional encounter. "I feel all my sins have been washed off by Priyanka's visit...I feel she has pardoned me by calling on me at the prison.... I am indebted to her all my life,"
Nalini was found guilty by the CBI and also by the Sri Lankan Govt. She is now lying when she says that she was a culprit of circumstances and is innocent. She should consider herself lucky to be alive still. She will get her punishment in the heavens. God is not Gandhi family. Terrorist’s organizations like LTTE should be destroyed. Attacks on America, and assassination of Benazir the world know the losses due to terrorism. How many more great leaders are we further going to loose? Regret by LTTE is just eye washing and misleading. They can produce more Nalinis. Let the DMK say about the truth as well.
