New Delhi :  Hours after his strong public criticism of the controversial ordinance, Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi Friday wrote to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh saying he has the "highest respect" for him and hoped he would understand the strength of his "conviction" on the issue.




The letter is seen as a move to dispel the notion that his criticism was a public snub to the prime minister and a challenge to the collective decision of the cabinet and Congress core group.
