Mumbai, Oct. 15 -- Days after the announcement, Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) issued a show cause notice to its MLA Sangram Jagtap for making hate speeches that have put the party in a spot. The notice was sent to the MLA on Sunday. The party president and deputy chief minister Ajit Pawar on Tuesday also asked the party leaders and office bearers to refrain from taking a stand contradictory to the party's policy. While Pawar did not name anyone, his remarks were clearly aimed at Jagtap, who made communal comments last Friday. Addressing party district presidents, MLAs, and senior leaders of the party at the Worli NSCI Dome, Pawar said, "You all are MLAs, senior leaders and office bearers of the party and are not supposed to take positions that will harm the party's prospects," Pawar told the gathering. When asked about the hate speeches made by Jagtap, Pawar said, "We have issued a notice to him a day before yesterday and he will have to reply to it." "Today I urged everyone to be cautious as we have never seen so much differences among communities in our Maharashtra before," said Pawar, underlining the need to be careful about hurting people's sentiments. Jagtap confirmed the meeting and said, "I met him (Pawar) and had a discussion with him over several issues."...
