Pragya Thakur tenders two apologises, insists she did not call Godse 'patriot' in Lok Sabha; Moves privilege notice against Rahul Gandhi

An unrelenting opposition forced BJP's Pragya Thakur, under flak for haling Nathuram Godse, to apologise in Lok Sabha for a second time on Friday after rejecting her first apology as "conditional" in which she also attacked Congress leader Rahul Gandhi for calling her a "terrorist".

Tendering her second apology in Lok Sabha following a meeting Speaker Om Birla held with floor leaders of all parties, the Bhopal MP said,"On November 27, during discussion on SPG (Amendment) Bill, I did not call Nathuram Godse a patriot (desh bhakt), I did not even take his name. Still if someone is hurt, I express my regret and apologise."
Congress members stormed into Lok Sabha's Well, shouting slogans like "Godse party down down" and "Mahatama Gandhi ki jai."
Asked about BJP calling for action against him for his remarks, Gandhi said, "That's ok. There's no problem. Whatever they want to do, I'll welcome."
