The BJP leader said that the YRS should also not take it seriously after Kavinder clarified the statement and there should not be any doubt in any body’s mind now. A controversy is being created without any reason by making the video viral, he added.
Sethi said in case any party leader makes such statement still it should not be taken as party’s statement. In response to a question that will party take action against Kavinder, he said that there is no question of the action as he also heard the video fully before the press conference and it appears that the video has been made viral to create a controversy unnecessarily.
The BJP leader said incidently he being the chairman of the Disciplinary Committee of the party has issued a show cause notice to party vice president and ex MLC, Sofi Yousf for indulging in anti party activities. Sofi has been served seven days time for reply and clarifying his position.
The notice served to Sofi reads, “Despite being senior leader of party and now occupying very senior position, it has come to notice of Disciplinary Committee of Jammu Kashmir Bhartiya Janata Party, unfortunately, that you are indulging in anti party activities and showing marked indiscipline in your political dealings,.
