Describing the remarks as inappropriate, Mr. Singhvi said that even within the country there should be no occasion for ministers to air differences about other ministries saying that there are enough forums in the party and the government to express views.<br/> <br/>The BJP has also condemned the reported statement of Environment Minister.
