Govt dismisses Maya’s claim over Arushi’s murder

“I am shocked. Instead of asking the police to answer in Aarushi’s murder, she is levelling charges against the government. I do not understand why she is taking it personally.”

She added: “I am reacting as a mother. I wish Mayawati would know what it is to feel that way. It is matter of concern that a young innocent girl is killed inside her house. This is of greater concern than dragging politics into it.”

In Lucknow, Mayawati on Thursday alleged that the case is being blown up more for dirty politics and less out of sympathy for the affected family.

“Me and my party strongly condemn this,” she said.
