WE have been asked to point out that Worcestershire Racial Equality Council categorically denies claims made by their former equalities manager Dr Rosemin Najmudin, who is appealing against her dismissal from the organisation.

Dr Najmudin has alleged that she was ousted by workers because she exposed their "laziness".

But council chairman Dan Wicksteed said a panel investigating the claims found there was no conspiracy to force her out.

A two-day hearing found that she had behaved improperly to staff.
