Shielf Dixit says her govt will not oppose Kukki's plea
WSN Network

LUDHIANA: After failing to rise to the occasion and take an early and informed decision on the sentence of Ranjit Singh Kukki, the Sikh militant who is now seen as an extra-ordinary human being who has set new frontiers in what it means to take one's life in one's hands and make meaning out of it when every given fact is against you, the Delhi Government of Shiela Dixit has now said it has no intention of opposing his plea. 

Kukki, convicted for the murder of Lalit Maken, has even won over the daughter of the man he allegedly killed, and she too has appealed to the Shiela Dixit to allow Kukki to live his life normally and move on. 

Dikshit, who presided over the annual convocation at Guru Nanak Khalsa College here, said her government was indeed sympathetic towards Kukki who was facing life imprisonment for the murder of Lalit Makan and his wife. She said the issue of parole would be decided after the elections by a review committee but made it clear that her government would not oppose Kukki’s plea.
