Rahul defends Priyanka's meeting with Nalini

New Delhi, Apr 15: Approving the meeting of his sister Priyanka Vadra with their father Rajiv Gandhi's assassin Nalini Sriharan in Vellore prison, AICC General Secretary Rahul Gandhi today said their family did not want to carry any anger and hatred.

Commenting on the meeting between Priyanka and Nalini on March 19, the young from Amethi, however, did not give a direct answer to a question on if he would also meet Nalini. "I have a different way of looking at these things," he told a private television channel, even while supporting his sister's meeting in Vellore prison. "We don't have anger...We don't have hatred. She has been feeling it for some time that she should go and see the person (Nalini)," Rahul said. The Congress Party did not give any reaction on the meeting between Priyanka and Nalini.

AICC Spokesman Jayanthi Natarajan released a brief statement issued by Priyanka, but declined to say anything more than that.
