Days after Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal apologised to SAD leader Bikram Singh Majithia, AAP supremo on Monday apologised to Union Minister Nitin Gadkari, as per media reports.

In 2014, Nitin Gadkari had dragged Arvind Kejriwal to the court after the latter named Gadkari in his list of “corrupt politicians”. Gadkari had then sued him for defamation.

Kejriwal in his note to Nitin Gadkari has said; ” Both of us are in public life belonging to different political parties. I made certain statements, without regard to its verifiability, which seems to have hurt you and therefore you have filed a defamation case against me. I have nothing personal against you. I regret the same”.

“Let us put the incident behind us and bring the court proceedings to a closure. I suggest we should put our energy to serve the people of this country, in the spirit of mutual respect”, the note added.

After the apology, both Gadkari and Kejriwal have filed an application seeking to withdraw the defamation case in the Patiala House Court.

A day after Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal apologised to Majithia for accusing the SAD Minister of his involvement in “drug trade”, Aam Aadmi Party’s Punjab chief Bhagwant Mann resigned from his post on Friday.

“I’m resigning as a president of AAP Punjab… But my fight against drug mafia and all kind of corruption in Punjab will continue as an ‘Aam Aadmi’ (common man) of Punjab,” AAP MP from Sangrur Lok Sabha constituency, had tweeted.

Majithia had filed a defamation case against the Aam Aadmi Party chief and others following the allegations made during the campaigning in the Punjab assembly elections.
