Chandigarh, October 21
The Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) today issued a show cause notice to former MP Jagmeet Singh Brar asking him to explain his anti-party utterances within one week failing which disciplinary action would be initiated against him.
The show cause notice was issued to Brar today by SAD disciplinary committee chairman Sikander Singh Maluka.
The notice stated there were three specific complaints against the former MP. It said party workers of Maur constituency had filed a complaint against him asserting that his needless statements had damaged the image of the party in the constituency.
The disciplinary committee has also taken note of the some video clippings which Brar has uploaded on social media which seek to encourage factionalism and divide the party. Besides, the party has also taken a strong view of the press conference held by Jagmeet Brar on October 10 in Chandigarh in which he appointed himself as the Convener of a 21-member unity coordination committee despite not being authorised to do so by the party.
The disciplinary committee while issuing the show cause notice to Brar said being a senior leader the latter should have exercised restraint and expressed his views in the official meetings of the party instead of going public with them.
