New Delhi: Minister of State in the BJP-led government Sadhvi Niranjan Jyoti has apologised in the Parliament over her controversial "Muslims, Christians sons of Ram" remark.



However, the Congress has sought her resignation, calling this apology "too little too late".



Her apology comes after PM Narendra Modi asked his ministers to refrain from addressing the nation.



"I will not compromise on any such behavior," PM Modi reportedly said in a meeting of BJP MPs this morning, without taking any names.



Sadhvi Niranjan Jyoti, who came under strong criticism for using an abusive language while addressing voters in a campaign, had earlier defended herself saying that she did not mean to target any particular person or party but separatists.



"I did not take name of any particular individual, community or party. I was talking about separatist parties and leaders who think of dividing the country and who do not consider themselves to be a part of India," said Jyoti.



Earlier on Monday, the union minister had used abusive words to urge voters to choose between candidates, while addressing voters in west Delhi's Shyam Nagar.



Her choice of words garnered strong criticism from various political parties.
