For publicity, now, some Tamil political outfits have entered the scene and raised their voice against hanging culprits in Rajiv Gandhi assassination case. Though the parties are too small in terms of leaders and supporters, there are some concerns in this regard. 

1) If we consider killing Prime Minister of India as a terrorist activity and the culprits behind that brutal assassination as terrorists, a political outfit that begs to save terrorists are also criminals. They should be punished. In a broader term, they are traitors. 

2) 20 years has gone. Indian Judiciary should take a bold stand and go ahead with the verdict.

3) Just think about the family members of Rajiv Gandhi. By stretching the case again to society, the parties with vested interests are hurting Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi.

Former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi was assassinated while proceeding to an election meeting in Sriperumbudur on May 21, 1991.

Remember that the Supreme Court had pronounced the judgment and all the pleas of culprits in this case were rejected in 1999 itself. They were supposed to hang on October 5, 1999, a date fixed by the prison authorities to implement the court order. But it was postponed because of the mercy petition filed by them! 

So, enough is enough. Hang the killers of Rajiv Gandhi as early as possible. It is a request to Indian Judiciary.
