I have not got justice: Rahul Gandhi

SRINAGAR (Uttarakhand): Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday lamented that he has not got "justice" even 17 years after his father Rajiv Gandhi's assassination, a reference to the death sentence given to some of those convicted in the case, which is yet to be executed.
       
"My father was a prime minister. My grand mother was also a prime minister, but I did not get justice. My father was killed by a bomb. Forty people were involved. It has taken 17 years, but still there has been no punishment," he told students of the H N Bahuguna University in this hill state.
       
He was asked why Parliament attack accused Afzal Guru has not yet been hanged.
       
"The issue is not why Afzal is not being hanged. Our legal system is very slow," said the Congress General Secretary.
       
He blamed the "slow" Indian legal system for that but said he had "full faith" in the judiciary and had no complaints about it.
        
The Congress MP said he never complained why his father's killers were not hanged. "I believe in the legal system of the country. I will get justice but it will take time."
