No comments on Giriraj's remark: Sonia Gandhi

New Delhi/Bhopal, April 2: Likening union minister Giriraj Singh to people with a "narrow mindset" over his "white skin" remark which suggested she was accepted as party chief due to her skin colour, Congress president Sonia Gandhi on Thursday declined to comment on it. As mediapersons sought her reaction to Singh's remark which caused national outrage, Sonia Gandhi first asked: "What did he say?" On hearing the full account of Singh's observation of her, the Congress president said: "I would not like to comment on people who have a narrow mindset." Singh, who has stoked various controversies in the past as well, told reporters in Patna on Tuesday that he wondered if former prime minister Rajiv Gandhi had married a non-white Nigerian woman, would the Congress party still have accepted her as its president. "If Rajiv Gandhi had married a Nigerian and if she wasn't white-skinned, would the Congress accept her as a leader," he said. Following the outrage triggered by his comment, Singh on Wednesday expressed regret, adding the remarks were made in an off-the-record conversation.
