: The PMK, an ally of the BJP in Tamil Nadu, Thursday urged Governor Banwarilal Purohit to order the release of seven Rajiv Gandhi assasination case convicts without any further delay.
Pointing out that the Tamil Nadu government had recommended their release on September 9 last year, PMK founder leader S Ramadoss, in a letter to the Governor, said "it is sad that no decision has been taken yet on the recommendation till today, even after 276 days."
"...in many cases life imprisonment prisoners have been released much before completion of their sentence period on the grounds of good conduct."
"Therefore, I kindly urge and request your excellency to grant an order for the immediate release" of the seven convicts based on the state government recommendation "without any further delay."
