The NCP leader was among those who called for the civil suit and its ‘twin charges’ by the police to be withdrawn.

Speaking to The Standard, NCP leader said: “We heard the withdrawing of the charge and we find it valid to thank the president for the good decision.

We have always believed as a very tolerant president, Barrow will listen when good people appeal to him. People must not however abuse that tolerance; so, I am advising the journalists to respect the privacy of people or political parties”, the NCP leader said.
