There was no question of an apology

Muzaffarnagar, March 14: Samajwadi Party MP Aamir Alam Khan, who was among the seven Rajya Sabha members suspended for showing ‘disrespect’ to Chair, today insisted that he had not apologised to Chairman Hamid Ansari for the conduct and would not do so.

“This (report of my apology) is absolutely false… I have not apologised to anyone,” Khan told here.

He was commenting on reports that he, along with three other suspended MPs of SP, had met Rajya Chairman Hamid Ansari and expressed regret over their conduct on March 8 while protesting against the Women’s Reservation Bill.

“I along with Ram Gopalji had met the Chairman but neither of us apologised… there was no word of regret or even remorse expressed,” he maintained.

The meeting on Wednesday, he said, was called by Ansari and discussions took place only on the “developments” of the day.
