Is it your way of not taking any decision and on that basis the court should release Rajiv Gandhi’s killer?’ The Congress leader said, “On the basis of which the decision has been taken, thousands of Tamil prisoners should be released. There are lakhs of life imprisonment prisoners in the country, they should also be released. Randeep Surjewala said, ‘It is not a question of a Congress leader, but Rajiv Gandhi ji was our Prime Minister, who sacrificed for the country.
