Rajasthan Minister asked to quit for his remarks against Patil
A section of the local media quoted Khan as having told the party workers that Patil was so dedicated that "she used to make tea and cook food at Indira Gandhi's residence" and due to her honesty, devotion and loyalty, she is now the President. Khan, however, denied having said so. The Minister today clarified that "I just gave an example of loyalty and did not intend to make any comment on the President. I said that she was a committed and simple worker. "After observing resentment among the party workers over not getting organisational posts, I said that party workers should be loyal to their leader as well as the party," Khan said. "She (Patil) was loyal to Gandhi-Nehru family and the Congress party and served with dedication and commitment even in the days when Indira Gandhi was not in power," he said. PTI AM SDA VSC
