KATHMANDU, May 29: Janata Samajbadi Party (JSP) has sought clarification from four of its top leaders in  an apparent bid to take disciplinary action against them.

Office Chief of JSP's Central Office Prakash Adhikari has sent separate letters to Mahantha Thakur, Rajendra Mahato, Laxman Lal Karna and  Sarbendra Nath Shukla asking them to submit clarifications within 24 hours. 

The JPS faction led by Upendra Yadav and Dr Baburam Bhattarai had earlier sought clarifications from the four leaders on May 22 after they decided to support to KP Oli-led government. The 24-hour deadline again to submit clarifications comes after they failed to submit the clarification.
