    Manmohan Singh, Ghulam Nabi Azad to skip banquet for Trump

    Former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh will not be attending the Presidential banquet hosted for United States President Donald Trump, sources told ANI on Monday. Along with Singh, the Leader of Opposition in the Rajya Sabha, Ghulam Nabi Azad, has also decided against attending the state dinner. Reports stated that Congress leaders are miffed since party interim President Sonia Gandhi has not been invited.

    Singh reportedly cited health reasons for declining invite

    Sources privy to the matter told PTI that the former PM had initially accepted the invitation to the Presidential banquet. However, Singh later expressed his inability to attend the dinner. Singh has cited health reasons for his absence, India Today reported. Sources close to Azad told News 18 that since Gandhi has not been invited, he too has decided against attending the dinner.

    Congress' Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury also declined invite earlier

    India Today corroborated that since an invite was not extended to Gandhi, both Singh and Azad declined their invites. Earlier, Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury declined an invite to the dinner since the interim party President was not invited.
