I met my father's assassin: Priyanka

NEW DELHI: Speaking to a news channel, Priyanka Vadra has acknowledged that she visited Vellore to meet her father's assassin.

Priyanka said that it was a personal visit. She further added, ���I needed to make peace with violence in my life.���

A Chennai lawyer had filed an application under the Right to Information Act (RTI) last week seeking information on a purported meeting on March 19 between Priyanka and Nalini at the special prison for women in Vellore. On March 19, Priyanka was indeed in Vellore to visit the Sripuram temple.

The RTI applicant, D Raj Kumar, has sought the prison superintendent's response to a number of queries: Under which legal provision was Priyanka permitted to meet Nalini, who accompanied her, how long did the meeting last, and what did they talk about?

Nalini was given the death sentence by a special court for being involved in Rajiv Gandhi's assassination on May 21, 1991, in Sriperumbudur.
