I hope you would appreciate that I would be able to clarify my position once I receive the specific comments that I am being alleged for," she said.Later in a tweet, Bedi said, "reply sent to privilege notice asking them to tell me what was exactly derogatory which amounts to breach of privilege?"The privilege notice against Bedi came as she accused politicians of wearing "several masks" at the same time. She had pulled a scarf from the neck of an activist during Hazare's fast, wrapped her head with it and proceeded to mock MPs.On Monday, Arvind Kejriwal asked the Rajya Sabha Secretariat to provide him with tapes of his speeches and transcripts which MPs found derogatory to provide a detailed reply.Reacting to the notice, Bedi had earlier said that she will not "apologise" for her remarks against politicians, but intends to show a "bigger mirror" to the House on the conduct of lawmakers."If I get a notice, I would say I am sorry I will not be able to say sorry. If I get an opportunity I will go before the Committee and will show a bigger mirror to Parliament," she had said.
