Law Minister Salman Khurshid has written a letter to the Election Commission of India saying that the controversy created by his remark on Minority subquota was unintentional.

The letter written to Chief Election Commissioner S Y Quraishi was delivered last evening.

Meanwhile senior Congress leader and Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee said in Allahabad that the party has made it clear that people occupying posts of responsibility should speak responsibly.

Earlier in an unprecedented move, the EC had on Saturday written a letter to President Pratibha Devisingh Patil seeking her intervention on Khurshid's alleged defiance of the poll body's censure of his remark promising to double job subquota for Minority which the EC found violative of the model of conduct.
