The workers of Congress party expressed their anger on what they termed as a highly derogatory comment made by the cabinet minister Ganesh Joshi on the sacrifices of the Gandhi family. The agitated workers of the party assembled at the party office and shouted slogans against the Minister. They also burned the effigy of the minister at Astley hall Chowk here on the day. Speaking on the occasion the president of the Mahanagar unit of the Congress party Jasvinder Gogi said that statement of the minister is gross violation of the political etiquettes. Demanding resignation of Joshi, he said that the BJP leaders have made it a habit to insult the prominent personalities, heroes and the religious beliefs. Gogi said that in an attempt to divert the attention of people from their failures, the BJP leaders issue such statements and make attempts to change history. It is pertinent to mention here that Joshi on Wednesday had said that the deaths of former Prime Ministers Indira Gandhi and Rajiv Gandhi were accidents and not sacrifices. Congress leaders Godavari Thapli, Garima Dasauni, Puran Rawat, Manish Nagpal, Naveen Joshi and others were present on the occasion.
