Opposition Congress in the Lok Sabha today opposed the AIADMK-led Tamil Nadu government’s demand of releasing convicts in the Rajiv Gandhi assassination case and urged the Centre that it should not entertain any such suggestion.
The Congress gave notice for suspension of the Question Hour for taking up the issue for immediate discussion. Speaker Sumitra Mahajan rejected the notice, but allowed party leader Mallikarjun Kharge to make briefly his point.
Mr Kharge said to entertain such suggestions would set a wrong precedence as other states may also follow the suit in other cases which would create a bizarre situation.
