Congress reinstates Sam Pitroda month after stepping down following controversial remarks

The Congress party has reinstated Sam Pitroda as the chairman of the Indian Overseas Congress, a month after he stepped down following his controversial remarks. The reappointment was announced by the party in a statement on the 26th of June.

Pitroda stripped up a row in April this year when he backed the concept of inheritance tax citing the example of some states in the US. The remarks gave ammunition to the BJP to attack Congress on the issue of 'wealth redistribution'.

During the Lok Sabha election campaign, Pitroda triggered another controversy when he seemingly racially compared Indians to Chinese, Arabs, Whites, and Africans while talking about diversity and democracy in India.
