Congress and the AIADMK recently had a heated exchange in Parliament after the Tamil Nadu government led by the latter wrote to the Centre over its decision to release the seven convicts in the Rajiv Gandhi assassination.
Rajiv Gandhi was assassinated in a suicide bombing mission in Sriperumbudur, near Chennai, on 21 May 1991. At least 14 others were also killed in the blast carried out by Thenmozhi Rajaratnam, also known as Dhanu, a human bomb.
