Talking to RSS, leader Bohora said some of the leaders have already furnished their clarifications while some have yet to receive letter seeking justification for being outside the Valley. 'We have sent them letters with the intention of keeping the party disciplined and within the ambit of policy. Seeking clarification should not be considered an autocratic style and we would not take action to that way', Bohora clarified.
