In the notice issued by the Assam unit general secretary Bobbetta Sharma, the MLA has been asked to furnish an explanation for his actions to State Congress president Bhupen Borah in three days.
The Assam Congress on Friday served a show-cause notice on its MLA Sherman Ali Ahmed for his “politically motivated” statements in reference to the recently held Gorukhuti eviction drive “with the intention of damaging the party’s image” ahead of the bypolls in the State.
It also said that allegations are rife within the party and even outside that Ahmed is acting as an “agent of the BJP”, and that due to his closeness to the Chief Minister, he is being sponsored to make such comments to cause harm to the Congress, especially during elections.
In the notice issued by the grand old party’s Assam unit general secretary Bobbetta Sharma, the MLA has been asked to furnish an explanation for his actions to State Congress president Bhupen Borah in three days.
