Tamil Nadu Governor Banwarilal Purohit's apology for a cheek-patting gesture that many found offensive was accepted by a woman journalist today, but with reservations. The journalist had written to Mr Purohit conveying her anger at the gesture after she asked a question during a press conference on Tuesday evening. In response, the 78-year-old governor offered his apology, but with a bizarre justification of his act.
