Kolkata, April 20 (IANS) Trinamool Congress legislator Monirul Islam was Sunday issued a show cause notice by the Election Commission after he asked party workers in West Bengal's Birbhum to prevent people from voting for other parties.
"Islam has been show-caused for his speech and directed to submit his reply within 24 hours to the (Birbhum) district magistrate," Amit Roychowdhury, officer on special duty (OSD) told media persons here.
