Actor Aamir Khan has agreed to reconsider his decision to quit the informal panel formed by the HRD ministry to propose amendments to the Copyright Act.
This comes after members of the panel alongwith HRD minister Kapil Sibal requested Aamir to withdraw his resignation. Lyricist Javed Akhtar met Sibal and gave him a letter written by the members to the HRD minister asking him to persuade the star of `3 Idiots' to reconsider his decision. Akhtar said, "There is no need to stretch the issue. I have written a letter where I have said that if Aamir returns then I would feel happy."
Sibal said he has spoken to Khan. "I have told Aamir that they are not questioning your integrity and you should withdraw your resignation. He said he will consider it," Sibal said.
Aamir had resigned from the panel following a spat with Akhtar on the issue of who should get royalty of the song. While Akhtar argued that it should be with lyricist, Aamir contended that it is the actor who is responsible for making the song a success. He resigned later on the ground that he was being attacked.
