Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin on Thursday urged President Ram Nath Kovind to accept the recommendation made by the state government in 2018 and remit the life sentences of the seven Rajiv Gandhi assassination case convicts and direct their immediate release. The convicts have been undergoing the "agony of imprisonment" for the past about three decades and the state has been demanding their early release, he said. A majority of political parties have been requesting remission of the remainder of their sentences and their immediate release. "It is also the will of the people of Tamil Nadu," Mr Stalin said in a letter addressed to President Kovind. The letter, dated May 19, was made available to media outlets on Thursday. V Sriharan alias Murugan, his wife Nalini, Santhan, AG Perarivalan, Jayakumar, Robert Payas and P Ravichandran are the seven convicts.
