Chhindwara: Madhya Pradesh minister Gauri Shankar Bisen, who is often been in news for various controversies, has landed himself in trouble yet again. At a public function in Chhindwara on Friday, a boy was seen tying the minister's shoe laces - not just once but twice.
According to reports, while a road project inauguration function was underway, Cooperatives Minister Bisen reportedly called the boy, believed to be a tribal school student, to tie his shoe laces.
Sensing media persons present at the function taking note of his act, the BJP minister's supporters quickly whisked him away. The boy is now reportedly untraceable.
Union Minister Kamal Nath was also present at the function when the incident happened. He was sitting right next to Bisen, who is a cabinet minister in the Shivraj Singh Chouhan-led state government. In his defence, the union mister said he "did not notice" the boy tying Bisen's shoe laces. "I did not notice it. And if I had seen it, I would have of course condemned it there and then. In my 31 years of representing the Chindwara district in Parliament, this is the most obnoxious event that has happened. It deserves to be condemned. I was hurt that it happened at an event where I was present."
The issue has given state Congress leaders fresh reasons to attack Bisen and the BJP.
"This act shows the attitude of Bisen towards tribals and minor students. It is also another example of the kind of ministers in the Shivraj Singh Chouhan cabinet. We will protest soon on the issue to get Bisen removed from the cabinet," said Congress spokesperson KK Mishra. (With IANS Inputs)
