Girri rebuts LG's statement, asks him to make public 'letter'

Rebutting Lieutenant Governor Najeeb Jung's statement that he had written a letter to him in the matter involving NDMC official M M Khan's murder, BJP MP Maheish Girri today asserted he wrote no such letter and asked the LG to make public any such purported communication.
Aam Aadmi Party has sought Girri's arrest in Khan's murder, alleging his letter to the LG in favour of the accused hotelier 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 (LG's) press release makes a reference to any letter written by me, then it is for the LG office to make things clear. What has Mahesih Girri got to do? They (AAP) should speak to the LG office.

"If have written such a letter, then the LG office should make it public," he told a press conference.
He parried a volley of questions asking him why he was not taking up the issue directly with the LG.
"If needed, I will write to the LG" was his refrain.

After AAP targeted the LG 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.
"I have made it clear that if Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal or his party can show evidence, I will resign. I have no fear as I have written no letter," the East Delhi MP said.

AAP has alleged that Delhi Police is "shielding" Girri in the case of Khan's murder.
Girri said the police has made it clear there was no evidence against him.
Khan, an estate officer of New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC), was shot dead in Jamia Nagar a day before he was scheduled to pass the final order on the lease terms of hotel The Connaught which was functioning on a property of the civic body, on May 16.
