Lok Sabha Speaker Sumitra Mahajan on Saturday said, after Prime Minister's statement over controversial remarks of Union Minister Sadhvi Niranjan Jyoti and her apology, the issue should be treated as closed and the House should function as per rules.

Speaking to reporters after inaugurating the World Book Fair at Indore, she said, on the demand of the Opposition, she had adjourned the house for 10 minutes and also ensured that an apology be tendered by the Minister.

Opposition had stalled working of the House earlier this week and had demanded the resignation of the minister.

Referring to previous instances, the Speaker said in the past as well, wrong examples were set but no apologies were tendered.

The Speaker also dismissed the Opposition's allegation that she was working under some pressure and was not giving adequate time to Opposition leaders to speak on any issue.
