Former Congress Working Committee member Jagmit Singh Brar, who has created a flutter with his remarks pertaining to the party's senior leadership, was today issued a show cause notice by the party.
Taking a serious note of the "irresponsible and highly undesirable utterances" of the former MP and senior leader from Punjab, state Congress President Pratap Singh Bajwa today issued show cause notice to him seeking explanation for his conduct by August 5.
Bajwa said the notice had been issued following the directive from the AICC General Secretary and in charge of Punjab affairs, Shakeel Ahmed.
The PPCC chief asserted he had gone through his statement appearing in the media criticising the party leadership which had been taken seriously "as such irresponsible behaviour is not expected from a leader like him who had the privilege of enjoying the confidence of the party President for years."
"In case he had some issues, the same could have been raised at the proper party forum instead of airing the views through the media," Bajwa said here.
