 "Outlook magazine admits to quoting Rajnath Singh 'erroneously'")
Outlook magazine tonight admitted to "erroneously" attributing the 'Hindu leader' remark to Home Minister Rajnath Singh which created a storm in Lok Sabha.
In a statement uploaded on the weekly's twitter handle @Outlookindia, the magazine said that in a Lok Sabha debate earlier today, CPI-M MP Mohammad Salim referred to a story published by it in its November 16 issue.
"In this story, a remark made by late Ashok Singhal of Vishwa Hindu Parishad was erroneously attributed to Home Minister Rajnath Singh. Outlook deeply regrets the lack of diligence in verifying the source of the statement.
"It was not our intention to denigrate the Home Minister or Parliament. Outlook sincerely regrets the embarrassment caused to Mr Rajnath Singh and Mr Mohammad Salim. The online version of the said article has been corrected to put the facts on record," the statement of the weekly said.
The article created a storm in Lok Sabha after Salim raised it, prompting the Home Minister to strongly deny it.
The statement of Salim was later expunged by the Speaker.
