Gen Singh further said that during the course of TV interviews referred to in the notice he has not spoken anything whatsoever that could even remotely affect or obstruct the functioning, decorum, dignity or position of the legislature or any of the members thereof as also anything whatsoever that shall impede the members in carrying out their legislative functions.
Gul had issued the notice on October 24 asking Singh to explain his position on payment of alleged bribes to some ministers from the army's secret funds during his tenure.
The J&K Assembly today made his reply public and sought comments from members, who had moved the privilege motion.
“In response to the allegations levelled against, I almost respectfully point out that various quotes ascribed to me are inaccurate and incorrect to the extent of being misquotes,” he said.
Singh said his intent and motives are bonafide and none of his acts is ever directed at lowering the prestige or violating the privilege of J and K Legislature.
The former Army chief said he had the utmost regard for all democratic institutions of the nation, all Legislative Assemblies and Houses of Parliament and also the members and functionaries thereof.
