‘Unconstitutional to remove me’

New Delhi: Rebel JD(U) leader Sharad Yadav has questioned his party’s decision to remove him as its parliamentary party leader in the Rajya Sabha, saying it was against its constitution and insisted that a majority of party members are with him. Mr Yadav on Wednesday released his rejoinder, which was also sent to Rajya Sabha Chairman M. Vnkaiah Naidu and JD(U) chief Nitish Kumar, to Lok Sabha member Kaushalendra Kumar’s letter to him on August 11, informing him of his removal.”You have no moral or legal authority to issue the aforesaid letter to me and the same is against the provisions of the party’s constitution for which appropriate action is being proposed by its office bearers,” Mr Yadav wrote.
