Kannan Gopinathan, a former IAS officer, has joined the Congress party after resigning from his position in 2019. His resignation was motivated by his discontent with the restrictions on free speech in Jammu and Kashmir, as he aimed to advocate for the rights of the people. Despite the government’s attempts to persuade him to return, Gopinathan declined, feeling harassed. During the COVID-19 pandemic, he engaged in various activities to assist others and connected with numerous individuals. Gopinathan believes that Congress is best suited to lead India, criticizing the current government for labeling dissenters as traitors. He expresses enthusiasm for joining Congress and is committed to serving the public with integrity.
