Manish Tewari Expresses Regret to Hazare

New Delhi, Aug 25 (IANS): Congress spokesman Manish Tewari Thursday expressed regret to Anna Hazare over his comments slamming the social activist for alleged corruption.

"In political discourse, certain things get said which inadvertently cause hurt, anguish and pain," Tewari told reporters outside parliament.

"I know some of my recent utterances have caused hurt to Anna Hazare. To him I would like to say that I regret the same," the Congress leader said.

He said he was personally concerned about Hazare's health and would like to appeal to him to end his fast. "In democracy, there is always room for discourse."

Tewari had attacked Hazare Aug 14 on the basis of Justice P.B. Sawant Commission report and accused him of being involved in corruption from "head to toe".

The remarks had drawn veiled criticism from his own party people.

Tewari's remarks Thursday came soon after the Lok Sabha appealed to Hazare to end his fast.

Prime Minister Manmohan Singh said in the house earlier that he saluted the social activist, respected his idealism and his life was "too precious".

Urging Hazare to end his fast, the prime minister said the activist had emerged as an embodiment of people's disgust against corruption.

    At first Kapil Sibal abuses Anna and says he is backed by RSS. Then Mr Manish Tiwari accuses him of being corrupt. Pranab calls his representatives for a meeting and insults them and asks them to leave. The youth leader is hiding somewhere and the PM is mumbling something which no one understands. And they have cheeks to say that they will bring a strong Lokpal? They think that citizens of this country are fools. This is not democracy....it is worst than dictatorship

    Poor Tewari.
    I am sure he was "asked" to give the initial statement, & now again he is "asked" by the high command.

    It is the politics by Congress to heal Anna Mentally that the party is bowing down but actually it is not making any effort for the paasing of bill or to bring any solid conclusion over the bill.

    There was a saying, When we point to some one, we forget another four fingers are pointing towards us.
    Mr. Tiwary should first see himself, before pointing to any one.

    only this action can show that congress really respects Anna..

    The Public would like to know in the first palce who directed him to make such an outrageous statement . If it was a planned attack, then all those in charge of handling Anna team should be also exposed.

    That he has chosen to express regret ( not an apology ) after ten days also seems to part of a strategy merely to molify the public .

    It was a disgusting attack made by an official Congress spokesman and needs to be condemned and importantly whoever had been directing Manish need to be exposed also .

    Anna Hazare and his team members have also been using unparliamentry language in their speeches and should desist from generalising and making sweeping comments just because they feel that they have got the public behind them . They are fighting for a good cause and should do it with dignity and poise .

    persons like manish tiwari and digvijaysingh can say anything first and then retract is easy. it shows how these people are pooled public, their behaviour. it surely show how they respect honesty in public life.these people only respect sonia and none else.regret have no meaning now.they never speak from heart.

    Mr. Anna Hazare is like his father. At the first place he should not have made this remarks. Hope he must have learnt lesson of his life and in future he will think ten times before making any remarks on any one.

    How can it solve the problem. This means that any persona can say whatever he feel and damage the image of a person and then just say that he regret what he said. Secondly, how he felt regret is also not acceptable. He said in politics sometime they have to say such word. Thats very dangerous for a democratic country. Also it tells what these spokesperson do. They just say something and divert attention of public from real issues. If this issue is of national security then such things can lead to worse situation.
    So I don't think the way Mr. Manish Tiwari regreted is right. If what he said is not true and if he don't have evidence for what he said then he must say sorry to Shri Anna ji and to the Nation.
