Congress Party President Sonia Gandhi on Thursday said her son and party Vice-President Rahul Gandhi would be back soon from his sabbatical.

"Rahul Gandhi will be back soon," she said in Neemuch, Madhya Pradesh, while interacting with media on the sidelines of a meeting with farmers who have suffered crop-related losses because of unseasonal rains.

Earlier this week, BJP leader Giriraj Singh suggested that Rahul Gandhi's absence from national politics was similar to a Malaysian plane that had recently gone missing.

"The budget session is over, but where is Rahul Gandhi? This is similar to the disappearance of the Malaysian aircraft which has not been found," Singh said.
