Sharad Yadav expresses regret over remarks against Smriti Irani

"I regret (the controversy). I respect her," he said in Rajya Sabha, after Leader of the House Arun Jaitley said a "very improper impression" had been created in the media on Yadav's remarks during a discussion in the House two days ago.    

Jaitley urged Yadav to clarify his remarks and put the controversy to rest.
   
After expressing regret and saying he respected Irani, JD(U) chief also said he had been the first person to defend Irani when the controversy over her degrees had erupted.
