BJP leader apologies to Madras High Court in contempt case

Chennai, Oct 22 (IANS) BJP Secretary H. Raja on Monday tendered an unconditional apology to the Madras High Court in a suo moto contempt case for his derogatory remarks about the judiciary.

The court accepted his apology and closed the contempt case.
