Abhishek Manu Singhvi is back as Congress spokesperson after CD row
New Delhi: The Congress today brought back Abhishek Manu Singhvi, former party spokesperson who was mired in a controversial CD row, as one of the leaders to put forward the party view in the electronic media.

"He (Singhvi) has been brought back into the panel of leaders who participate (in debates) in the electronic media," Congress General Secretary Janardan Dwivedi told reporters.

In April, Mr Singhvi had resigned as party spokesperson and Chairman of Parliament's Standing Committee on Personnel, Public Grievances and Law and Justice after a sleaze video, allegedly involving him, went viral on social media sites.

Subsequently, he was dropped from a list of leaders authorised by the Congress to participate in discussions on news channels.

The Congress has nominated some leaders, including ministers, party spokespersons and Members of Parliament, to participate in discussions and debated on television news channels.
