In the dock, Sakshi says it is BJP’s ‘internal matter’

Controversial BJP MP Sakshi Maharaj on Tuesday said he was unaware of any show-cause notice against him from the party over his remarks and termed it as an “internal matter” of BJP.
“I have no information about any notice. If the party has issued any notice, my office must have received it. I have no information.
“This is an internal matter of the BJP and it has nothing to do with the media. If I have said anything wrong, my party might have given a notice to me. I will reply to it,” Maharaj, who represents Unnao in Lok Sabha, told reporters here.
Sakshi Maharaj, who returned to the national capital by train this morning, faced a barrage of queries at the railway station from reporters on the notice issued against him by BJP on Monday. He, however, evaded all questions posed to him.
Acting on the directions of BJP President Amit Shah, the party on Monday slapped a show cause notice on Sakshi Maharaj asking him to explain why action should not be initiated against him for his controversial remarks in the recent past. He has been asked to respond within 10 days his position on why he continued to make “controversial statements which go against the party line despite having been warned,” BJP sources had said here.
