New Delhi, February 19: Putting a lid on the controversy, Aamir Khan today withdrew his resignation from the copyright panel saying proposed amendments to the 53-year-old law were extremely important and historic.
Khan, who had opted out of the panel following reported differences with lyricist Javed Akhtar, decided to rescind his decision following a request made by HRD Minister Kapil Sibal.
“I have given a lot of thought to your request to take back my resignation and be a part of the committee. I have also read the letter the other members have written to you reiterating their faith in me.
“The amendment to the Copyright Act (of 1957) is an extremely important process, indeed historic. In light of the above I take back my resignation,” Aamir said in his letter to Sibal.
Sibal yesterday asked Aamir to reconsider his resignation from the panel.
