Vikramaditya Singh, while speaking exclusively to NDTV, denied being summoned by the Congress leadership and stressed that his remarks had "no communal overtones".
Himachal Pradesh Minister Vikramaditya Singh met Congress state in-charge Rajiv Shukla and general secretary in-charge organisation KC Venugopal in Delhi today, a day after the party distanced itself from his remarks that eateries in the state will now have to display the names of owners and staff.
Mr Singh, while speaking exclusively to NDTV, denied being summoned by the Congress leadership and stressed that his remarks had "no communal overtones".
"I was not called by anybody. I am a loyal soldier of the party. Whenever I come to Delhi, I meet the leadership here and apprise them of the work that the organisation and the government are doing in Himachal. It's a routine affair," he said.
