BJP demands dropping of all ''tainted ministers''

New Delhi, Nov 28 (UNI) With a city court convicting Union Minister of Coal Shibu Soren in connection with the murder of his personal assistant, the BJP today demanded dropping of all ''tainted ministers'' from the Council of Ministers.

BJP Spokesman Prakash Javadekar said, ''The induction of ministers like Shibu Soren into the Cabinet is an indicator of political and moral bankruptcy on part of the UPA government when evidences are heavily loaded against them.'' About Shibu Soren's conviction in the Shashinath Jha murder case, Mr Javadekar said it was not his ministership which was in shroud but his membership in Parliament which has expelled MPs for ''lesser crimes''.
