Under fire from the opposition and even leaving her own party BJP red- faced for her controversial comments on Nathuram Godse, Bhopal MP Pragya Thakur has tendered an apology in Lok Sabha but said her remarks have been twisted.

Thakur  had created a controversy on Wednesday with her remarks in the Lower House of Parliament during DMK member A Raja’s narration of a statement by Nathuram Godse before a court on why he killed Mahatma Gandhi.

“If my comments have hurt in anyway, I regret and seek apology. My comments in the House have been twisted,” she said without taking Godse’s name

Thakur also said that she respects and pays tribute to Mahatma Gandhi for his contribution to the country.

The MP also said that she was dubbed as a terrorist by an MP despite being acquitted by the court.

“One member has publicly termed me as a terrorist, though I have been acquitted by the court,” she said and added that making such remarks too were against the law.
