Madhya Pradesh minister accused of seeking sexual favours

Bhopal: A Madhya
Pradesh Waqf Board member Wednesday accused the Minority Welfare
Minister Ajay Vishnoi of seeking sexual favours to cancel his
transfer. The minister has denied the charges.
S.M.H. Zaidi, secretary of the board, told IANS that he has moved
the Jabalpur bench of the Madhya Pradesh High Court against the
minister.
Zaidi, a veterinary doctor, alleged that when he contacted Vishnoi
to get his "unfair" transfer order reversed, his aide Shaukat Khan
asked him to bring his wife to the minister's bungalow.
According to Zaidi, two years back the minister had asked him to
register a piece of land in someone's name, but he refused as it
was government property.
"Later in April 2010, I was transferred to a Maoist-hit area on
the state border. I moved the high court, which agreed the
transfer was done to punish me," Zaidi told IANS.
The court also stayed the transfer.
"But neither has the government followed the court order nor have
I received my salary for the last two years," he said.
On Dec 20, 2011 when Zaidi went to the minister's residence here,
Shaukat told him that his work will be done if he brought his wife
to Vishnoi's Jabalpur bungalow.
The veterinary doctor further said that when he complained to
Vishnoi, the minister allegedly said: "You have to pay to get your
work done."
"Shaukat had made the statement before several people and I have
mentioned five witnesses in my affidavit," he added.
Reacting to the charges, Ajay Vishnoi said: "I am in public life
and everybody knows my conduct. His charge reflects his dirty
mind. He did not even spare his wife."
