‘Anti-party activities’: BJP Ludhiana district vice-president gets notice
Description
LUDHIANA: BJP district vice-president RD Sharma has been issued a show-cause notice and given two days to explain why disciplinary action should not be taken against him. The notice issued by BJP district unit general secretary Ram Gupta on the directions of district president Pushpinder Singha mentioned that he was involved in anti-party activities and gave statements against the state party leaders and the Central government. Recently, former cabinet minister and BJP leader Anil Joshi had come to the city and met some party leaders at the residence of Sharma. Through this meeting, Joshi had tried to convince the district leaders to support farmers’ protests and create pressure on the state as well as Central leadership to drop farm ordinances. Sharma said, “I have never talked against the party. Rather, we want to save its face in the public. I will reply to the show-cause notice as I did nothing against the party.” Joshi had shown support to the farmers’ agitation by saying they have to contest the elections in Punjab and they cannot ignore the voice of the people of the state.
