19 years on, Tariq Anwar returns to Congress fold
27-October-2018
Days after quitting the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP), Tariq Anwar on Saturday returned to the Congress here in the presence of party President Rahul Gandhi - almost two decades after he had walked out.
Gandhi has welcomed Anwar into "the Congress family", the party tweeted posting a picture of the two leaders shaking hands.
Anwar had quit the NCP and his Lok Sabha membership on September 28 expressing disagreement with party chief Sharad Pawar whom he has been upset with for giving a clean chit to Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the Rafale deal.
Anwar had in 1999 joined NCP chief Sharad Pawar and some others in quitting the Congress to protest against the appointment of a person of foreign origin - Sonia Gandhi being appointed the party chief.-IANS
