Aamir Khan resigns from Copyright panel

STAFF WRITER 16:22 HRS IST

Mumbai/New Delhi, Feb 17 (PTI) Bollywood actor Aamir Khan has opted out of a 10-member committee set up by the HRD Ministry to review the amendments proposed to the Copyright Act, saying he would not be able to provide any "meaningful contribution" as some members were attacking him.

Two days after the formation of the committee, Khan wrote to HRD Minister Kapil Sibal yesterday, saying he wanted to step down from the panel.

Sibal said he regretted that Khan had to take such a step, but felt he was correct from his point of view.

"It seems to me that there is an attempt by certain people to attack me in public by printing lies about me, thereby turning the attention away from a genuine debate about copyright issues," the 44-year-old actor said in his letter.
