Taking a tough emotional move Congress President Rahul Gandhi \u00a0has said that he and his sister Priyanka Gandhi have “completely forgiven” his father Rajiv Gandhi’s killers.<\/p>\n
During an interaction with IIM alumni in Singapore on Sunday, Gandhi replied to a question as if he and his sister Priyanka had forgiven his father’s killers saying, “We were very upset and hurt and for many years we were quite angry. But, somehow, completely… in fact, completely (forgiven).”<\/p>\n
Describing his emotions and observations Rahul Gandhi said, “There is a history that when one realises that when these events take place, it’s collision of ideas, forces, confusion. That’s where you get caught. I remember when I saw Mr Prabhakaran on TV lying dead, I got two feelings – one was why they are humiliating this man in this way. ”<\/p>\n
“And second was I felt really bad for him and for his kids and I did that because I understood deeply what it meant to be on the other side of that thing. So to me when I see violence regardless of who it is, I know that there is a human being behind that, there is a family behind that, a kid crying behind that. I have been through a lot of pain to get this and it is something I consider very valuable. I find it difficult to hate people, even my sister does,” he said.<\/p>\n
