Priyanka Shows The Way

Priyanka gandhi went to meet her father's assasin in jail. Nalini was convicted for plotting to killed rajiv gandhi..Now after 15 years priyanks\a went to the vellore jail to meet her. I dont think any wrong in it..its an act of courage and benevolence..opposition tried to make a fuss over the whole issue and even tried to bring the same gandhi thing into the picture..I want to know one simple thing, what was wrong in Priyanka's going to jail? Is it a crime to meet a convicted person? Is it a crime to show affection to a lady who has never seen her daughter going to school????
