Hello
A video purportedly showing the Bhopal MP locked in an argument on seat allotment with passengers on-board the flight on Saturday has gone viral on social media.
Thakur's apology came a day after opposition benches demanded an apology from her and submitted a censure motion signed by 50 MPs to Speaker Om Birla.
Thakur created a controversy on Wednesday with her remark in the Lower House during DMK member A Raja's narration of a statement by Nathuram Godse before a court on why he killed Mahatma Gandhi.
Even during the Lok Sabha election campaign, Thakur had described Godse as a patriot, triggering a huge political storm.
Pragya, who defeated Congress leader Digvijaya Singh from Bhopal Lok Sabha seat, has made many such controversial remarks and had to apologise for some of them.
We will with all honesty do what we have been elected for, so keep in mind, we are not here for cleaning a drain, Pragya Thakur said.
Senior journalist Rakesh Dixit has filed the election petition in his capacity as a voter from the Bhopal constituency.
HC cleared the screening of the film after the Centre refused permission saying it could create law and order issues.
Thakur said that it was her full name and that she had already mentioned it in the form filled for oath taking.
Digvijaya Singh contested and lost the Lok Sabha poll from Bhopal to BJP's Sadhvi Pragya Thakur.
