Maharashtra minister Chandrakant Patil today apologised in the Legislative Council for his remarks against the Opposition after the latter, on Friday, raised the issue of some state Class 6 Geography textbooks having six of their pages printed in Gujarati.
NCP MLC Sunil Tatkare had raised the issue in the Council on Friday and Patil had claimed that the error could have been the result of a "binding mistake" or there was a possibility that somebody inserted these pages in a few books on purpose.
Tatkare, terming the allegation against the opposition a serious one, had said, "If you could prove that I printed this, I will drink poison here and commit suicide."
