He said, “I am confident that the issue I am raising has merit and I have faith in the wisdom of the party to be able to deal with this issue.”
Sinha said, “In fact, it is this faith which kept me from issuing this statement earlier. Unfortunately, despite my best effort the party has been unable to take a decision in the matter.”
