Bharatiya Janata Party Member of Parliament B P Singhal, who had asked Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee to resign in the wake of 'bullying' by National Democratic Alliance partners, has been issued a show-cause notice by the party.
The notice to Singhal asking him to explain his remarks was given by Jaswant Singh, the party leader in Rajya Sabha.
A day after advocating BJP's return to Hindutva line at a meeting of the BJP Parliamentary Party, Singhal had on March 20 said that Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee should resign to counter 'frequent bullying' by NDA allies on Ayodhya issue.
Singhal, brother of Vishwa Hindu Parishad leader Ashok Singhal, said that such an action by Vajpayee would help BJP to recover lost ground 'failing which it will be disastrous for the party'.
He had subsequently said that he had been misquoted by the media.
