MPs will be punished only on SC orders: Mayawati

Sultanpur, Apr 22 (UNI) Stating that Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) will not wait a minute to punish the three MPs involved in human trafficking, party supremo and former Uttar Pradesh chief minister Mayawati today said any action against them would only be taken on orders of the Supreme Court.

Ms Mayawati accused the opposition for unnecessarily naming BSP MPs in the case. However, she quipped ''If found guilty, they will not be spared.'' ''The opposition is jealous of the mushrooming popularity of BSP.

Therefore, it is building castles in the air. But, I am least effected by all this. The crime of party MPs is not yet proved. Any action against them would only be taken on the directions of SC,'' the party chief said while addressing a poll meeting here.

Along with BJP ML BabuBhai Katara, names of three BSP MPs Mohd Tahir Khan (Sultanpur), Mitrasen Yadav and Ashok Rawat (Faizabad) have come to light in human trafficking case.

Meanwhile, Mr Khan said ''I am innocent and have got nothing to do with the case. It is all the handiwork of Chief Minister mulayam Singh Yadav and BJP.'' ''I do not know Mr Katara. I have not met him even once,'' he claimed.
