One is saying a show-cause notice is issued, and another is saying he (Aiyar) has been expelled from primary membership. So don’t go by what is appearing”. On Aiyar’s controversial remark, Singh said a person would use the language only as well as he or she knows it ("Bhasha ka jitna gyan jisko hoga usi bhasha ka woh prayog karta hai").
