The BJP was on Monday night believed to be weighing options on the action it may take against Arun Shourie who let off a fusillade against the party leadership and virtually dared it to act against him.
Party sources said the course of action against Shourie could be decided against the backdrop of the swift action taken against Jaswant Singh who was expelled last week.
"The party has taken note of the utterances of Mr Shourie. It shall be responded to appropriately after discussions," BJP spokesperson Rajiv Pratap Rudy said here.
Party Vice-President Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi described Shourie's outburst as "unfortunate".
Attacking Shourie, he said "the so-called writers are challenging fighters...the party is going through a phase of transition and will emerge stronger after such developments".
