"Truth is, when I was removed from the party, no one extended support. And what I had said then could have been an expression of anger and dissatisfaction. But I don't recollect if I said it or not," he told the commission.

The Liberhan Commission is probing the circumstances leading to demolition of the disputed structure on December 6, 1992.

"Today, I would like to clarify that there was no conspiracy of any kind by any section," Singh said.

His reply came when the commission's counsel, Anupam Gupta, referred to a media report dated July 16, 2000, in which Singh had allegedly accused senior BJP, Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh and Vishwa Hindu Parishad leaders of being part of a conspiracy to demolish the disputed structure.
