A few days back it was revealed that Priyanka Gandhi met with her father’s assassin Nalini in Vellore Jail. Priyanka’s father was the late Rajiv Gandhi, former Indian Prime Minister.

i feel that the media went overboard in it’s coverage of the issue. it is nice to see that Priyanka is ready to forgive Nalini for her father’s death. but trying to find out what questions priyanka asked nalini i thought wasn’t fair. it is something deeply personal and emotional. i don’t think we have a right to know the exact nature of the conversation.

obviously several killer languish in our jails, and there may be cases wherein the deceased person’s family might come and meet the killer/accused. but the media is not bothered about such cases.

just because it is the gandhi family which is involved the media just couldn’t control their curiosity. news channels kept flashing all day long about the meeting. i am sure there other important stories on that particular day which might have got sidelined because of the unnecessary attention given to this meeting.
