Nalini Sriharan, on Tuesday appealed to the State and Central government to release four other Sri Lankan nationals, including her husband, from the Trichy special camp, reports news agency ANI. “This special camp is also like a prison again,” she said. Claiming herself to be staunch ‘Gandhi’ supporter, Nalini said, “A few people oppose our release. When Indira Gandhi and Rajiv Gandhi were assassinated, our family was sad and we refused to even have a meal. I cannot accept that I was named in the Rajiv Gandhi assassination case. I should be free of that blame. We don’t know who assassinated him.”
