“Silence becomes cowardice when occasion demands speaking out the whole truth & acting accordingly.” - Mahatma Gandhi.

Driven by my conscience to speak up against injustice & institutional capture, I’ve been inspired by Shri @RahulGandhi & decided to come back to @INCIndia today," Kumar said on Twitter as he rejoined the party.

Also a former Indian Police Service (IPS) officer, Kumar quit the Congress in August 2019, levelling serious allegations against his senior party colleagues.
