Giriraj reportedly broke down after PM Modi's reprimand, TV channels reported on Tuesday.
Giriraj had yesterday expressed regret in the Lok Sabha for his racist remarks against Sonia. "I never meant to offend anyone. But if my comments hurt anyone's sentiments, I regret it," he said when Speaker Sumitra Mahajan asked him to respond after the House saw loud protests by Opposition members.
Last month, Giriraj was heard saying "Had Rajiv Gandhi married a Nigerian woman and if she was not a white-skinned woman, would the Congress have then accepted her (Sonia's) leadership."
