BJP today served a show cause notice on its senior leader Hari Om who recently criticised the party's actions, including over alliance with PDP for forming government in the state, saying it amounted to gross indiscipline and misconduct.
"The state unit of BJP has served a show cause notice to Prof Hari Om, through which he has been called upon to submit his explanation within seven days for airing publically statements on his own without the consultation or consent of the concerned leaders of the party," party leader Narinder Singh said here today.
Hari Om had recently criticised the party's actions in the state, including forming the coalition government with PDP and labelling the party's overall conduct as pernicious and gross, Singh said, adding it was an attempt to defame the party.
"It has come to the notice of the party that you have been airing publically statements on your own without the consultation or consent of the concerned leaders of the party, which have invited resentment from public as well as the party activists and tended to present the party negatively for the past quite some time," said the notice issued to Hari Om who had served BJP as Political advisor to state BJP chief and also as spokesman of the party in the past.
"The statements have caused resentment from public as well as the party activists and tended to present the party negatively for the past quite some time," it said.
While indulging in such activities, "you have been airing publically political demands which are first required to be discussed and decided in private within the BJP's organizational echelons," he said.
