New Delhi, April 15: Echoing his sister Priyanka's view over her initiative to meet one of the conspirators in their father Rajiv Gandhi's assassination, Congress MP Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday said his family did not carry hatred and anger.

"I have a different way of looking at these things. I don't have a problem either," Gandhi told reporters in New Delhi.

He was replying to a query on whether he too would, like his sister Priyanka Vadra, meet Nalini Sriharan, who is serving life sentence in Vellore Jail, Tamil Nadu, after she was convicted of having conspired to kill Rajiv Gandhi.

"We don't carry hatred. We don't carry anger. It's not an exercise. She felt that she wanted to go and see the person. She has been feeling it for some time," Gandhi said.

Priyanka has created a flutter by meeting Nalini in Vellore Jail last month.

Nalini was sentenced to death in the assassination case, but her sentence was later commuted to life imprisonment after Sonia Gandhi pleaded for clemency for the sake of the convict's daughter.
