The Congress on Wednesday re-appointed Sam Pitroda as the Chairman of the Indian Overseas Congress with immediate effect weeks after he stepped down from the post following a controversy over his racist remarks on the skin colour of Indians.
“Hon’ble Congress President has reappointed Shri Sam Pitroda as Chairman of the Indian Overseas Congress with immediate effect,” senior leader KC Venugopal said in an official announcement.
Sam Pitroda is a close associate of the Gandhi family and once held key positions in the Congress establishment, particularly during Rajiv Gandhi era.
