Release Nalini

Sir, Anent the editorial "Right decision on Nalini", supporting the decision of Tamil Nadu Government not to release Nalini had gone in to many hidden skeletons in the conspiracy to assasinate Rajiv Gandhi. Nalini has already served two decades of imprisonment and had regretted her act. Many a hard core criminals sentenced for life also are being released on the occasion of Gandhi Jayanthi, Independence Day or Republic Day, among others. The master mind of the attack on the Indian Parliament was handed a death sentence buy the supreme court and the Government is dallying over it. Nalini had already been punished and the further detention of a lady who regretted her act committed out of many compulsions/threat/fear is not justified. I feel that she deserves sympathy and on humanitarian grounds she can be released with a condition that she leave the country. Her case has to be considered with compassion and need not be compared with people like Kasab. Each case has to be viewed in its own merits.LTTE has already exterminated and what more harm can be expected from this hapless lady?
It is letter from Indian express.
