Tiwari, in his written communication addressed to Hazare, said that he had already expressed his regrets Aug 25 and had urged Hazare to end his fast at Ramlila Maidan in Delhi.
“I do not stand on any prestige or ego, especially when it comes to giving due regard and respect to people elder to me in age. In all sincerity, I reiterate my regrets,” Tewari said in the letter.
“I do not wish to give legal responses or want this matter to be prolonged. I hope you would treat the matter as closed,” he added.
