Re- Open Rajiv Gandhi assassination case: Dr. Swamy

Dr.SUBRAMANIAN SWAMY, JANATA PARTY PRESIDENT


In an interview with Rajiv Gandhi assassination case's convict Murugan, a LTTE functionary, who is the husband of Nalini also a convict in the same case [ Kumudam Reporter dt 7-7-2011], he states that the the clandestine Priyanka Vadra-Nalini meet in Vellore jail in 2009 was orchestrated by Union Home Minister P. Chidambaram who "deliberately arranged and leaked at appropriate time" to pressurise the Srilankan government for giving more importance and role to China and Pakistan. India according to Murugan wanted Srilanka to know that India will not hesitate to support LTTE if it goes against India's interest .A Police officer told Nalini not to tell anyone about the meet till he tells her to do so. The meeting was subsequently disclosed by Nalini's lawyer Doraisamy.

According to my information, the disclosure was to create a media propelled environment to facilitate Nalini to file in the Madras High Court a writ to get released, because she had served more 14 years in jail. The ploy failed because the Madras High Court made me an impleaded party in her case. I argued against her release and the Court upheld my view.According to Murugan, Nalini was a scapegoat, as the meeting was arranged by those whom the couple had trusted[meaning Sonia Gandhi and her Italian mother] ,but .they had ultimately let them down .She according to Murugan had agreed to the meet Priyanka Vadra on the assurance that she would pave the way for her release. Thus Mrs. Vadra had told a lie publicly that she had met Nalini to find out why she killed her father, and has now forgiven her [as per her Christian faith].

I have consistently and publicly demanded frequently that the conspiracy to murder Rajiv Gandhi was a contract [supari ] given to the now slain LTTE supremo V. Prabhakaran. I have wanted the CBI-led MDMA interrogate Ms. Sonia Gandhi and her mother Paola Maino, since the MDMA is set up for this purpose of unraveling the conspiracy behind the assassination.

I also demand a full disclosure of the Vadra-Nalini meeting including statements on affidavit of persons who facilitated this illegal meeting. Murder convicts on death row are NOT allowed to meet anyone under the law except relatives.

If this is not done by August 15th, I will approach the courts to re-open the Rajiv Gandhi assassination case including why Ms. Sonia Gandhi wrote to the President of India in 2000 to grant amnesty to the Supreme Court convicted killers, and how the TN Governor could grant amnesty to Nalini in 2001, when it was before the President..
