Rebutting lieutenant Governor Najeeb Jung’s statement that he had written a letter to him in the matter involving NDMC official MM Khan’s murder, BJP MP Maheish Girri on Thursday asserted he wrote no such letter and asked the l-G to make public any such purported communication.
Aam Aadmi Party has sought Girri’s arrest in Khan’s murder, alleging that he worte a letter to the l-G in favour of the accused hotelier that indicated his involvement in the crime.
“I have been saying repeatedly that I never wrote any such letter. I reiterate I did not. If the (l-G’s) Press release makes a reference to any letter written by me, then it is for the l-G office to make things clear. What has Maheish Girri got to doIJ They (AAP) should speak to the l-G office.
“If I have written such a letter, then the l-G office should make it public,” he told a Press conference on Thursday. He parried a volley of questions when asked why he was not taking up the issue directly with the l-G.
“If needed, I will write to the l-G” was his refrain. After AAP targeted the l-G as well, Jung said in a statement he had written to the NDMC in reference to a letter from Girri. The BJP MP also dared Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal to show evidence of such a letter.
