The Haryana unit of the Congress disciplinary committee has decided to issue show cause notices to the leaders not working in line with the party’s circulars and guidelines.
This was disclosed by the panel chaired by Dharampal Malik at a press conference in Ambala after a meeting of its district presidents and other leaders at the Congress Bhawan.
It stated that strict action will now be taken against those, including party MLAs or senior leaders, who publicly make statements against the party line.
Committee members, former MP Kailasho Saini, former MLA Anil Kumar Dhantouri, and member-secretary advocate Rohit Jain, were present. Jain said the committee has already started its work to strengthen the party and explanations will be sought from those leaders who deviate from or make statements against the party line.
“The committee is working in the party’s best interest, without any contradiction, and in unity. Some leaders are attempting to tarnish the organisation’s image by making baseless statements against party leaders on media, social media, and other platforms. The organisation has also received complaints against some such leaders from the disciplinary committee. These complaints are being reviewed. After this, action will be recommended against them based on solid evidence,” he said.
Meanwhile, Malik clarified that complaints have been received from Hisar and Sirsa on not using photos of senior state leadership or other issues of indiscipline. When asked about the number of complaints received so far, Malik said that till now the committee has received four complaints in writing, some complaints have been received through the media. “In total 10-12 complaints have been received to the panel. No leader will be spared in the case of making wrong statements,” he warned.
