jQuery Paging Plugin submitting 1st page even when it is null

jQuery Paging Plugin submitting 1st page even when it is null

I am using this plugin jQuery Paging Plugin ( https://github.com/infusion/jQuery-paging)

The issue with the 'page' option. Though I am setting it to null, onSelect gets triggered with page=1

How can I solve this issue, is it a bug?
