Housing Development Corporation (HDC) chairman Feeroz Khan says he intended no disrespect to the 26 employees whose contracts were not renewed last week, despite his decision being framed by his description of the Corporation as a “sick cow riddled with ticks.”
Khan sought to clarify that he was not referring to the workers at HDC as “ticks.”
