Swamy has filed petition only to get cheap popularity: Nalini

Special Correspondent

CHENNAI: S. Nalini, a life convict in the Rajiv Gandhi assassination case, has submitted before the Madras High Court that Janata Party president Subramanian Swamy has sought to implead himself in her petition seeking premature release only to get cheap popularity.

In the counter to Dr. Swamy’s petition, Ms. Nalini said the Janata Party leader was “one among the suspects in the Rajiv Gandhi assassination.” She quoted passages from the Jain Commission of Enquiry, which enquired into the events leading to, and all facts and circumstances relating to the assassination of the former Prime Minister.

She submitted that to safeguard himself from criminal proceedings against him, Dr. Swamy had filed the impleading petition.

Ms. Nalini had filed a writ petition challenging the Tamil Nadu government’s order dated October 31, 2007, rejecting her request for premature release. In the counter filed by counsel S. Doraisamy, V. Elangovan and M. Senthil Kumar, in the court of Justice S. Nagamuthu, she submitted that Dr. Swamy was in no way connected with the order passed by the government. He had no authority to defend the G.O. The relief claimed was only against the G.O. and no individual had any right to interfere. He was neither a necessary party nor a proper party and hence the impleading petition should be dismissed.
