Former Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh declined to comment on former Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) of India Vinod Rai's allegations against him here on Sunday.

Speaking to the media at a function, Dr Singh said of Rai's claims, "They are doing their duty, I am doing my duty. I don't want to comment on his statements."

On Thursday, Rai had alleged that three former Congress Members of Parliament had put pressure on him to keep the Dr Singh's name out of the 2G scam report. He also alleged that contrary to reports, Dr Singh was well aware of the impending scam.
