New Delhi : Nearly a month after quitting the Nationalist Congress Party, Tariq Anwar Saturday joined the Congress after meeting its chief Rahul Gandhi in New Delhi.
Anwar along with his supporters met Gandhi at his Tughlaq Lane residence and was welcomed into the party fold.
The former MP from Katihar Lok Sabha constituency would make a formal announcement of his joining the Congress party later in the day.
Anwar announced he was quitting the NCP and was also giving up his Lok Sabha membership on September 28 after Sharad Pawar’s “defence” of Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the Rafale fighter jet deal. Pawar was quoted in the media as having given a clean chit to Modi on the deal.
Pawar, however, had clarified he was misquoted in the reports and he had given no such clean chit to Modi.
