"Prime Minister Manmohan Singh is a member of the Congress party. Sonia Gandhi is its president and Rahul Gandhi is the vice-president. But when our prime minister is on a tour to America and is scheduled to meet the American President, the kind of snub that Rahul Gandhi has made is very shameful for the entire nation," Singh said while addressing party workers.       

"Rahul Gandhi has not only insulted the PM, but has also insulted the entire nation and our self-esteem in front of the world," Singh said.
