Congress seeks ouster of MP minister for offensive remarks

Bhopal, Aug 4: Madhya Pradesh Congress president Kantilal Bhuria has demanded dismissal of the State Cooperative Minister Gauri Shankar Bisen for allegedly making ''derogatory'' remarks against tribals.

The state Congress chief said in a statement that Bisen's remarks had caused anger among the tribals and added that his party would fight a ''no-holds-barred'' battle to protect the dignity of tribals.

Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan was trying to protect Bisen who had made offensive remarks against tribals recently at Chhindwada, Bhuria said. According to the Congress leader, Bisen had said tribals might receive higher education but they still lacked understanding.
