Union Steel Minister Chaudhary Birender Singh today expressed doubts about the action taken by the Congress against Mani Shankar Aiyar over his remark where he had called Prime Minister Narendra Modi "neech" man.

Speaking to reporters here, Singh said, "I had been in the Congress for forty years. I know what it (the action by Congress) means. One is saying a show-cause notice is issued, and another is saying he (Aiyar) has been expelled from primary membership. So don't go by what is appearing".

On Aiyar's controversial remark, Singh said a person would use the language he or she knows well ("Bhasha ka jitna gyan jisko hoga usi bhasha ka woh prayog karta hai").
