The Home Minister said that ministers and BJP leaders must ensure that their statements reflected proper perspective and did not communicate any wrong message.
"We should also ensure that there is no possibility of our statements being interpreted the wrong way or sending out an incorrect message," he said.
Singh said his ministerial colleagues -- Minister of State for External Affairs Minister Gen (retd) Singh and Rijiju -- had already given clarifications over their statement and that matters should come to an end.
Singh's dog analogy yesterday as he tried to shield the Centre from criticism over the Faridabad Dalit burning incident kicked up a huge political row.
"The government cannot be held responsible if somebody stones a dog," he had said.
As a row erupted over the remarks, demands were made for his ouster by the opposition, which sought registration of a criminal case against him under the Scheduled Castes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, and drew parallels with Prime Minister Narendra Modi's "puppy" remark in connection with Gujarat riots that had been construed as being directed against Muslims.
The former army chief later gave a clarification and appealed to the media not to deliberately twist his words "out of context".
Rijiju triggered a row on Wednesday with his comments.
"I was witness to a statement by one of the lt Governors of Delhi some years back. He had stated that people of north India enjoy breaking the rules and by evening he was forced to apologise. But I believe what he said was right," he had said on the sidelines of the inauguration of a think tank on police -related subjects.
Rijiju, too, had yesterday given a clarification that his comment was not directed at one section but was applicable to the entire society.
