TNCC slaps show cause notice on Karti Chidambaram

CHENNAI: Tamil Nadu unit of Congress today issued a show cause notice to its leader Karti Chidambaram, son of former Union Minister P Chidambaram, seeking explanation for some of his remarks against the party and veteran leader Kamaraj.

"A show cause notice has been served to Karti Chidambaram asking him to explain his conduct in criticising veteran leader Kamaraj and also making certain remarks against the party high command within a week," TNCC President EVKS Elangovan told here.

The remarks made by Karti at a meeting of his supporters he had called here yesterday "are not acceptable" to the party, he said, voicing displeasure over the action of the young leader, who lost the Lok Sabha election from Sivaganga seat, held by his father.

"If the party is not satisfied by the reply, it will consider even expelling Karti from the party", he said. Reacting to the development, Karti Chidambaram said he was yet to receive the notice and would respond after getting it.
