"I feel that I should not make a comment on people with narrow mindset," Sonia Gandhi told reporters.
Singh, whose 'racist' comment on Sonia Gandhi's skin colour went viral evoking scathing criticism, apologised for his "off-the-record-remark."
"People say all kinds of things off the record. But if Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi were hurt by my remarks, then I apologise," he said.
Singh had said on Tuesday at Hajipur in Bihar that if Rajiv Gandhi had married a Nigerian lady and not a white-skinned woman, then Congress would not have accepted her leadership.
Congress workers have demonstrated against Singh's remarks in several Indian states including New Delhi and Bangalore on Wednesday.
