Congress president Rahul Gandhi’s unconditional apology to the Supreme Court for his wrong attribution to it of a phrase is the right solution (Page 1, “Rahul Gandhi tenders an unconditional apology to SC”, May 9). Speech can spread poison and speech alone can also spread nectar. Our politicians should remember this. Hence they should try to speak the truth and be careful about their words.

Mr. Gandhi has finally tendered his unconditional apology. The whole issue could have been sorted out in the first instance. Rectifying a mistake is lot more easier than justifying it. Mr. Gandhi was simply trying to be too clever by half in his affidavit and finally got a sharp rap on the knuckles.
