Rajiv Gandhi killer’s mother appeals to Sonia Gandhi
The mother of A.G. Perarivalan who is accused in the Rajiv Gandhi assassination case, on Monday appealed to Congress president Sonia Gandhi that she speak out against the sentence.
Perarivalan, Santhan and Murugan are on death row after their mercy petitions were rejected by the President. Referring to a letter Ms. Gandhi had written in 1999 to the former President, K.R. Narayanan, seeking pardon for the accused, Ms. Arputham Ammal said: “Sonia Gandhi should once again say that the lives of the three persons sentenced to death should be spared.”
“Perarivalan went to prison when he was 19. Today he is 40. All these years, I have been fighting to prove his innocence. We have all been penalised for no fault of ours,” she told a press conference here. Calling his incarceration “unjustified,” she maintained that her son was innocent and had “nothing to do with the assassination.”

Congress restoring full growth potential of farm sector in agriculture
The most critical failure of BJP-led NDA government was in agriculture and the rural sector, where two-thirds of Indians live. The Congress is now giving the highest priority to meeting the investment requirements of sustained agricultural growth. Massive investments in rural infrastructure like roads, electricity, irrigation, agro-industries, animal health services has been undertaken. As a result gap between rural and urban areas has begun to diminish. Plan allocations to agriculture have been raised substantially. Public expenditure through input subsidies in fertilizers, irrigation, power and seeds is being made participatory. Subsidies are now linked to improvements in delivery. The rural credit system is being revamped so as to effectively meet the demands of a diversified agricultural economy with increased emphasis on agro business and high value added products. The computerization of land records has been undertaken. Pattas are being ensured to all land-holders, especially marginal farmers who are often denied this right.
