Sam Pitroda Makes Comeback As Indian Overseas Congress Chief

NEW DELHI (ANI) – Sam Pitroda was re-appointed as the chairman of the Indian Overseas Congress, an AICC release said on June 26.

Pitroda had resigned from the position in May amid controversies surrounding his remarks regarding the appearance of Indians. The Congress party then distanced itself from Pitroda’s remarks.

“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 that said little else.

Pitroda had stepped down after an interview with ‘The Statesman’, while reflecting upon the democracy in India, he had said, “We have survived 75 years in a very happy environment where people could live together, leaving aside a few fights here and there. We could hold a country together as diverse as India, where people in the East look like Chinese, people in the West look like Arabs, people in the North look like whites, and maybe people in the South look like Africans.”

He said the people of India respect different languages, religions, food and customs, which vary from region to region. “That’s the India that I believe in, where everybody has a place and everybody compromises a little bit,” he said.

  • Sam Pitroda is highly educated but just trying to screwed up Indian Regulatory system by interfering with wrong issues.
    He was removed by Congress and after little victory in recent election, Congress reinstate him back.
    The worst Dirtiest Indian political game by Congress since Independence initiated by Gandhi and Nehru.
