The APCC issued a show cause notice to its MLA, Alhaz Abdur Rashid Mondal, over his alleged involvement in anti-party activities. 

The Assam Pradesh Congress Committee issued a show cause notice to Alhaz Abdur Rashid Mondal, the MLA representing Goalpara West LAC, over alleged violations of party discipline and involvement in anti-party activities. The notice dated April 3, 2024, was sent by Bipul Gogoi, General Secretary (Org) of the Assam Pradesh Congress Committee.

The notice underscored allegations of deliberate violations of party discipline and involvement in anti-party activities by Mondal. It also mentions Mondal's purported direct involvement against the Congress’s Dhubri Lok Sabha candidate, Rakibul Hussain.

“It has been reported to Hon’ble President Assam PCC President Shri Bhupen Kumar Borah that you have been deliberately violating party discipline and getting involved in many anti-party activities, which has raised questions in the minds of party workers. They have categorically mentioned your direct involvement against INC party 2 No. Dhubri Lok Sabha candidate Shri Rakibul Hussain,” the notice read.

“As directed by Hon’ble APCC President Shri Bhupen Kumar Borah, show cause notice has been served to you and you are requested to send your reply within two days, as to why not action be taken against you for repeatedly violating party discipline and indulging in anti-party activities,” it further stated.

Meanwhile, last month, the Election Commission of India issued a show cause notice to BJP leader Dilip Ghosh for his offensive and insulting remarks about West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee. The poll body found that the remarks of Dilip Ghosh are violative of MCC provisions and ECI advisory dated March 1, 2024.

BJP MP Dilip Ghosh, on his morning walk in Durgapur, West Bengal, on March 26, said, "When Didi (CM Mamata Banerjee) goes to Goa, she calls herself the daughter of Goa. When she goes to Tripura, she says that she is the daughter of Tripura. She should first identify her own father."

Acting on the complaint from the All India Trinamool Congress, the Election Commission has issued a show cause notice to Dilip Ghosh, MP from West Bengal for his objectionable and disrespectful comment against Mamta Banerjee while addressing the press, which was broadcast and widely circulated by various news media channels.
