While standing by his controversial statements that went against the party's line, Singh in his clarification submitted to the NC Headquarters in writing on Friday, also argued that the party decisions could not be deemed ultimate during the constitution making process.Singh has argued that his statements surrounding federalism and constitution-making are in line with party statute and party interest.
I stand by my comments on federalism, citizenship, proportionate and inclusive representation and equal representation on the basis of population as these issues are as per the party statute and interest, Singh has argued in the letter.
Earlier on Monday, NC chief whip Chin Kaji Shrestha had sought written clarification from Singh within seven days asking why the NC should not take action against him for breaching the party discipline.
Talking to a national daily, Singh had earlier publicly said that Nepal would disintegrate if Madhes region was not declared an autonomous state.
Singh claimed that he made such statement out of worry that the nation may break apart if the desires and aspirations of Madhesi people were not properly addressed in the new statute.
"I told this out of my worry over possible disintegration of the country. I cannot imagine disintegration of this country. It is important to understand that those who have alleged me of supporting disintegration have problem in their way of looking at things," he said.
