Having stepped down from the post after two of his remarks stirred up a huge political row, putting the Congress on the back foot during the all-important Lok Sabha elections, Sam Pitroda has been reappointed the chairman of the Indian Overseas Congress.
The reappointment was announced by the party in a statement on Wednesday and, later in the evening, senior Congress leader Jairam Ramesh said the decision was taken after Mr Pitroda clarified the context of the statements and gave an assurance that he will not "leave room for such controversies to arise" in the future.

In a post on X, Mr Ramesh said, "During the recent election campaign Sam Pitroda had made some statements and comments that were totally unacceptable to the Indian National Congress. By mutual consent he stepped down as Chairman of Overseas Indian Congress."
