"Congress
general secretary Janardan Dwivedi had said very clearly three-four
days back that we function under democracy and the language of our
political discourse should be restrained and we should definitely
respect Constitutional bodies.
"This
statement given by our party general secretary is applicable to me, to
Beni Prasad Verma, Salman Khurshid and all of us," Information and
Broadcasting Minister Ambika Soni told reporters in New Delhi on
Thursday.
However, at the same time, she said she had not heard "what Prasad said, what was the atmosphere or whom he attacked".
The
poll panel has already begun examining Verma's remarks made at a poll
rally in the presence of Congress general secretary Digvijay Singh and
Union Law Minister Salman Khurshid in Farrukhabad.
Verma in his speech had also supported Khurshid, saying he was "honestly fighting for the Muslims".
He said that if Congress comes to power, then they would work for more reservation.
The
EC had on Wednesday put a lid on the standoff with Khurshid after he
expressed regrets over his defiance of the poll body over his remarks on
subquota for minorities.
