New Delhi | Congress leader Mani Shankar Aiyar on Tuesday "unreservedly" apologized for "mistakenly" using the word 'alleged' for the Chinese invasion in 1962.

According to a purported video of an event at the Foreign Correspondents Club this evening, Aiyar while narrating an anecdote said, "...In October 1962, the Chinese allegedly invaded India."
