“It was due to extreme anger and provocation that I uttered those words as I do not have any proof or evidence to support those allegations,” the letter stated.
It concluded: “I very much regret for the embarrassment and inconvenience caused to the leadership of the party and the country as a whole. Hope this apology would be accepted by all and sundry.”
