Chennai, Oct 6: DMK Chief M. Karunanidhi on Thursday appealed to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi to make attempts to save the three death row convicts in the Rajiv Gandhi assassination case.
In a statement, the former Tamil Nadu chief minister said the three convicts -- Perarivalan, Santhan and Murugan -- had been languishing in prison for more than 20 years after being awarded capital punishment.
“Despite pleas by many to the Tamil Nadu government to pass a Cabinet resolution to recommend to the Governor to commute their sentences, no steps have been taken. At least the Centre should do so. I urge the Prime Minister and UPA chairperson to do the needful,” he said.
