New Delhi, July 22 (UNI): After her remarks that she had not been elected to clean toilets, BJP MP Sadhvi Pragya was summoned by party's working president J.P. Nadda on Monday and advised to refrain from making such comments.

Sources said that after her remarks, Nadda and organisational general secretary B.L. Santosh summoned Pragya Thakur to the party office in Delhi.

Nadda expressed displeasure over her remarks, according to sources.

Addressing party workers in Madhya Pradesh, Pragya said, “I have not been made MP to clean your drains, or your toilets. Work for which I have been made, I will do with all honesty. I have been saying this, I am saying it today, and will continue saying it.”
