New Delhi, March 17 (IANS) Stating that everyone must exercise restraint in language, the NCP said Wednesday it was satisfied with Congress' action against MP Satyavrat Chaturvedi, who was removed as spokesperson for his reported objectionable remarks against Agriculture Minister Sharad Pawar.

Chaturvedi was Tuesday eased from the panel of party spokespersons following the controversy over his alleged remarks against the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) chief on the issue of price rise.

'We are satisfied with the action taken,' NCP leader Tariq Anwar told IANS. 'Everybody should exercise restraint in the use of language.'

Chaturvedi's abusive remarks against Pawar came during a television interview. The MP reportedly did not know that the cameras were running when he made the comment.

Congress sources said Chaturvedi's remarks were not an official comment and he was talking off the record.

However, the party had been embarrassed and the decision was taken to remove Chaturvedi from the panel of spokespersons, said a party leader.

Chaturvedi continues as special invitee to the Congress Working Committee, the party's top decision making body.

This is not the first time Chaturvedi is in trouble for his intemperate remarks. He was earlier removed as spokesperson for remarks about then Samajwadi Party leader Amar Singh.
