SHIMLA: A day after a goof-up over serving snacks to Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu snow-balled into a major controversy necessitating a CID probe, former state BJP chief Satpal Satti on Friday claimed the Congress government has become a "laughing stock" for ordering an "inquiry into samosas".

'Laughing stock': BJP's dig at Congress as 'samosa politics' heats up in Himachal

"The police should focus on the many scandals, from the CM's office to the secretariat, instead of wasting their time on petty matters," Satti said in a statement issued here.

The incident occurred on October 21 when samosas and cake meant for the Chief Minister -- who was visiting the CID headquarters here -- were accidentally served to his security staff, necessitating a CID probe that termed it an "anti-government" act.
