If you hold a press conference on your own and say outside the things that you should say before the leadership, will it strengthen the party? Discipline is important. What needs to be done, will be done by High Command but I don't agree with someone speaking at the road," he said while referring to the G-23 leaders who questioned the Congress leadership in the aftermath of the Punjab crisis."Speak and put suggestions before High Command at the correct platform.
