Kamat, a former MRCC chief, said there are many interpretations on his letter to the Congress President Sonia Gandhi sent yesterday on intra party matters. "I will not like to comment on this issue and the contents of the letter," Kamat said in a statement.

 

"However, to clear all misunderstandings inside and outside the party, I have requested Mr Kripashankar Singh, the MRCC President, to immediately convene a meeting of the MRCC Executive to discuss in detail the proposed alliance and the terms of the same by inviting all MPs, MLAs, Ministers from Mumbai, party corporators, DCC presidents and frontal organisation chiefs and the Mumbai Congress office-bearers to seek their opinion on the alliance," he said.

 

A lot of confusion prevails over certain "reported statements" of some NCP leaders, which has caused tremendous agony and pain to the loyalist Congress workers, which needs to be clarified and also to inform the Congress workers at large on what terms the proposed alliance is being thought of, Kamat said.

 

"There is no doubt that an alliance of secular parties is important, to keep the corrupt and communal parties away from the Mumbai Municipal Corporation in order to benefit India's commercial capital and to provide better infrastructure and amenities to the citizens of Mumbai. However this cannot be at the cost of self respect and unjustifiable demands," Kamat added.
