Chhindwara (MP): Madhya Pradesh Cooperative Minister Gauri Shankar Bisen, who landed in a controversy after he was caught by TV cameras getting his shoe laces allegedly tied by a boy, on Sunday swore before media that from now onwards, he would only wear shoes without laces.
"I swear that from now onwards, I will not wear any shoes with laces. I have specially brought from Pune six pairs of shoes without laces," Mr Bisen told reporters.
The incident happened at a public function at Khamra in the presence of Union Minister for Urban Development Kamal Nath two days back.
However, he had said that following his bypass surgery, doctors advised him not to bend forward, after which he employed the boy to take care of his personal needs. The minister, however, said that one should be cautious in public life and should not indulge in such activities.
Mr Bisen said that when the boy saw that he was finding it difficult to tie the shoelace, he himself came to his help. He claimed that the boy is his helper.
