Kozhikode, Aug 1 (Inditop.com) A day after he was removed as the Kerala unit chief of the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) and expelled, K. Muraleedharan Saturday said he was a “disciplined person” and would not breach party discipline again if the Congress took him back.
Muraleedharan was suspended from the Congress for anti-party activities in 2005 following which he and his father K. Karunakaran formed the Democratic Indira Congress-Karunakaran (DIC-K). A year later, the DIC-K merged with the NCP.
However, on Friday he said he would meet and appeal to Congress president Sonia Gandhi to revoke his suspension.
Regretting breaching the Congress party discipline, Muraleedharan told a Kerala TV channel Saturday that he would not create any more trouble and would remain a “disciplined person”.
He said he was “ready to wait for any length of time for my return”.
“The ground rule in the Congress is clear that anyone who accepts Sonia Gandhi as his or her leader can be part of the party. Karunakaran had to wait for five months to return to the Congress. So I am prepared to wait any length of time,” he said.
Karunakaran returned to the Congress in December 2007.
