In a letter to Human Resource Development (HRD) Minister Kapil Sibal, Aamir said: "Sir, I have given a lot of thought to your request to take back my resignation. I have also read the letter forwarded by other members reposing faith on my integrity... I am withdrawing my resignation."

"The initiative taken by you (Sibal) is very important. It is a welcome step by you and your ministry," a HRD ministry official quoted Aamir as saying.
