Bihar JD issues show cause to general secretary

The Janata Dal's Bihar unit has served a show cause notice to its general secretary and the candidate from Patna, Mufti Mohammad Qasim, for retiring in favour of the Rashtriya Janata Dal nominee, without taking the leadership into confidence.

State Dal president Ramai Ram asked Qasim why disciplinary action should not be taken against him as he had taken the decision on his own. Qasim is to reply within three days.

In a statement, Ram alleged that Qasim's decision amounted to indiscipline and anti-party activity.

The repoll in the Patna constituency is scheduled on March 30.
