Mayawati will meet same fate like Saddam Hussein, says Azam Khan

Lucknow, Jan 8 (ANI): Senior Samajwadi Party leader, Azam Khan on Sunday said Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister, Mayawati would meet the same fate like Iraqi dictator, Saddam Hussein.

Khan slammed Mayawati for misusing funds to erect statues of herself and her party symbol, elephant.

"The elephants and the statues of Mayawati are now being covered. When we had seen the fall of Saddam Hussein's statue then it was also covered. We do not know what the future holds but when the statues of Mayawati, which she believes stands in the heart of the people, will fall then a good time for the state would start," said Khan.

Chief Election Commissioner of India, S.Y. Quraishi had ordered to cover the statues of Mayawati and her party symbol elephant, which are placed in numerous parks and memorials built by the government in Lucknow and Noida, before the seven-phase assembly elections begin in the State on February 4.

Quraishi's decision came after a slew of complaints from opposition parties. (ANI)

Aarushi case: Rajesh Talwar to remain on bail till Feb 4

New Delhi, Jan 9 (ANI): The Supreme Court on Monday ruled that Noida-based dentist Dr. Rajesh Talwar, the main accused in the murder of his teenage daughter Aarushi and domestic help Hemraj, would remain on bail till February 4 and face trial.

On Friday, the Supreme Court had rejected a separate petition filed by the Talwars, requesting it to overrule the verdict of the Ghaziabad court that ordered the CBI to make them the main accused in the case.

The apex court refused to intervene but said that its decision did not reflect any judgement on their alleged involvement in the teen's death.

The investigation in the case was initially carried out by the Uttar Pradesh Police, which had arrested Aarushi's father on May 23, 2008.

Rajesh Talwar was granted bail in 2008 after the CBI had filed a closure report on the twin murder case citing insufficient evidence. The court, however, rejected the closure report and asked them to face trial in the case.

Aarushi, 14, was found murdered under mysterious circumstances in her parents' Jalvayu Vihar apartment in Noida, May 16, 2008. Their domestic help Hemraj's body was found on the flat's terrace a day later. (ANI)
