Sam Pitroda was on Wednesday (June 26) reinstated as Chairman of the Indian Overseas Congress, the party's General Secretary K C Venugopal said.
Pitroda had stepped down from the post during the Lok Sabha poll campaign after his comments on inheritance tax and later on south Indians looking "like Africans" triggered a political storm.
"Congress President (Mallikarjun Kharge) has reappointed Sam Pitroda as Chairman of the Indian Overseas Congress with immediate effect," Venugopal said in a press release.
