“Security should be based on threat perception and not because of political reasons,” Raja said, and asked the home minister to revisit the Bill which seeks to withdraw SPG cover from persons other than prime minister. During the day, Lok Sabha passed a bill to amend the SPG Act.

Later, during the course of discussion on the Bill, Gaurav Gogoi of the Congress, referring to Thakur, said that the MP should apologise for the remark.

Meanwhile, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Pralhad Joshi said that Thakur has explained to the party that she did not support Godse and was only speaking about revolutionary Udham Singh.
