New Delhi: VHP leader Sadhvi Prachi today remained defiant and stuck to her controversial 'terrorists in Parliament' remarks after she appeared before Rajya Sabha Committee of Privileges, where opposition members asked her to tender an "unconditional" apology.

The committee headed by P J Kurien is examining a complaint of Opposition MPs against Prachi about her remarks made during the Monsoon Session. The panel had summoned Prachi to appear before it. Emerging after the meeting, Prachi told reporters, "I am a daughter of the country. I won't backtrack. I am being pressurised to apologise. They (the committee members) shouted me down. I said I also have the right to speak."
