Subhash, appreciating the Madhya Pradesh government's action against Pateria said, "Merely sending to jail is not enough. Such people should be dealt with severely and punished so that nobody should dare to use objectionable and unparliamentary words against the persons who assumed top constitutional posts".
Pateria made the remark during a meeting of Mandalam Sector presidents organised by the District Congress Committee at Powai Rest House in Panna on Sunday.
