Union Law & Justice Minister, Ravi Shankar Prasad has unconditionally withdrawn his comment calling Shashi Tharoor a murder accused.
In his letter to the Congress Leader, the Minister has said,
More than a year ago during the heat of campaign, I had made a comment describing you as an accused in a murder case. On receiving subsequent information about the conclusion of the investigation in the concerned case, I learnt that the said allegation against you is not factually correct. I accordingly, withdraw it unconditonally.
