"Central Disciplinary Committee (CDC) of the party has considered your response to the show cause notice dated 10 February 2025 and has taken serious note of your repeated violations of the party discipline, despite your assurances of good behavior and conduct in response to earlier show cause notices," the order, issued by the CDC member Om Pathak, read.
