Rajiv Gandhi Killers

Rajiv Gandhi's murder in May 1991 was seen as retaliation for his decision to send Indian peacekeepers to Sri Lanka in 1987 !

                                                       

The government in India's Tamil Nadu state has decided to free seven people :

convicted of plotting the assassination of former PM Rajiv Gandhi.

Among the prisoners to be freed are Murugan (left) and his wife, Nalini Sriharan

                                                           

In 2008, Gandhi's daughter Priyanka Gandhi met Nalini in jail.

"I needed to make peace with all the violence in my life," she later said.

"I don't believe in anger or violence and I refuse to let it overpower me.

Meeting Nalini was my way of coming to terms with my father's death,"
