NSUI shared visuals from the scene that showed its members raising slogans inside the building of the NTA before locking the entrance of the testing agency’s office

Sam Pitroda — Congress’s overseas unit chief who is back in saddle after a seven-week break — today stood by his statement about diversity among Indians, but admitted that he could have put it better. “It is not about words but about the meaning… but maybe I could have done a better job,” he told NDTV in an exclusive interview.  And about the row that followed that comment, he shrugged it off.

“I have to run my life. They can say I live in Chicago and why I am talking about India. I would expect civilised conversation, dialogues.. but that is lost… People are not interested in substance of a conversation, but the form of the conversation,” he said.

Mr Pitroda had stepped down from the post in May after his two consecutive statements sparked huge controversies. He was reinstated yesterday.
