NEW DELHI: Congress is set to give a complete miss to President Kovind’s banquet for US President Donald Trump , with all three party principals deciding to skip the dinner at Rashtrapati Bhavan on Tuesday — alleging that the government had kept party chief Sonia Gandhi out of Trump’s visit.Leader of opposition in Rajya Sabha Ghulam Nabi Azad and former PM Manmohan Singh decided to follow the lead of Congress leader in Lok Sabha Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury, who said on Saturday that he would not attend the dinner.Chowdhury said he was offended that the Congress chief had been completely ignored for the US president’s visit and no meeting had been arranged with the opposition leader. He claimed it was contrary to the practice followed by past governments when interactions were arranged with principal opposition functionaries. Azad is learnt to have conveyed his “thank you” to President’s House but expressed inability to attend. He regretted that Sonia, who is chairperson of the Congress parliamentary party, was not invited. Azad and Singh are learnt to have accepted the invite before turning it down on Monday. It is believed that Chowdhury’s public announcement forced the hands of his colleagues. The decision of complete boycott came after nearly 36 hours of silence.
