Chautala expels son Ajay from INLD for ‘anti-party activities’
Taking a strong stance on the growing family feud within the INLD, party supremo Om Prakash Chautala expelled his elder son Ajay Singh Chautala from the primary membership of the party for “anti-party activities”. The expulsion decision was announced by the Indian National Lok Dal state unit chief Ashok Arora here on Wednesday in the presence of senior party leaders and Ajay Chautala’s younger brother, Abhay Singh Chautala.
Arora read out a letter from Om Prakash Chautala, who is in Tihar Jail in the national capital, communicating his decision. A meeting of INLD leadership has been called here on November 17.
Hisar MP Dushyant Chautala and his younger brother, Digvijay Chautala, sons of Ajay Chautala, were expelled from primary membership on November 2, bringing the bitterness within the Chautala clan out in the open.
CHANDIGARH:
Ajay Chautala, who was out of Tihar on parole, was touring various parts of Haryana to mobilise support for the party meeting and a rally he has called in Jind on November 17.
Digvijay Chautala claimed the whole exercise was a “conspiracy” and the expulsion letter was “forged”. Dushyant has refused to accept his own expulsion from the party, saying it was not issued by INLD nor had the national executive of the party met to decide the issue.
