The BJP Yuva Morcha leader, who had announced a reward of Rs 5 lakh for cutting off JNU Students union leader Kanhaiya Kumar’s tongue, was on Saturday expelled from primary membership of the party.
The president of district unit of BJP, Harish Shakya, said that the party has expelled district president of BJP Yuva Morcha, Kuldeep Varshnay for six years. Shakya told reporters that party has nothing to do with Varshnay’s controversial statement.
Varshnay’s statement is his personal one and the party has nothing to do with it…he has been expelled from the primary membership of the party for giving such a statement without the consent of party office bearers,” he said.
Shakya stated that a notice to remove Varshnay from the post had been issued six months ago, and Ankit Maurya was made working president in his place.
Varshnay had on yesterday announced Rs 5 lakh prize money for cutting off the tongue of Kanhaiya Kumar who he had alleged was speaking against the BJP and Prime Minister Narendra Modi ever since he was released on bail.
Kumar who was arrested on February 12 on sedition charges was released from the Tihar jail on March 3 after the Delhi High Court granted him interim bail for six months.

PIL Filed Against Pak PM in Islamabad HC

A petition has been filed against Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif in the Islamabad High court for using public money on publicity.
The plea filed by local politician, Fayyazul Hassan Chohan, alleged that an advertisement showing the Prime Minister inaugurating Azan Khan Shaheed Montessori School was paid from the government's budget, reported Dawn.
The petition claimed that advertisement was politically motivated since the campaign was meant to enhance the stature of the Prime Minister and all the works undertaken by his government.
The petition added that the funds were generated through taxes, which were supposed to be invested on infrastructure and development.
Chohan has requested the court to direct the finance division to recover the amount from Sharif.
A single-member bench of the High Court will hear the plea next week.
