The National General Secretary, Nationalist Congress Party, Shri.
Tariq Anwar, MP, has issued a show-cause notice to the NCP's newly
elected MLA from Jharkhand Shri Kamlesh Singh as to why action
against him under section 10 of the Constitution of India for
disqualifying him from the Member of the Jharkhand Legislative
Assembly should not be initiated. Copy of the show-cause notice by
Shri Tariq Anwar is attached herewith for your information.

The charges made against him were that he had taken oath as the
Minister in the NDA government of Jharkhand led by Shri Arjun Munda
inspite of the fact that he was aware that NCP is a part of UPA and
opposed to the NDA. Not only this, he had also been issued number of
whips by NCP General Secretary Shri Tariq Anwar to vote against the
NDA government as well as its candidates for Speaker.

The option, however, has been given to him that if he resigns from
the Jharkhand cabinet and vote against NDA alliance in the
Legislative Assembly, proceedings so initiated by the NCP, will be
dropped.
