New Delhi: Following a backlash over “Rashtrapatni” remarks, Congress MP Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury on Friday tendered an apology to President Droupadi Murmu. He cited that it was a “slip of the tongue”.

“…I assure you that it was a slip of the tongue. I apologise and request you to accept the same,” reads his letter.

While talking to media persons earlier, Chowdhury addressed the President as “Rashtrapatni” that followed a backlash. However, he later apologised admitting that he “mistakenly” said this.
