New Delhi: Amid rumours of alliance between Congress and Aam Aadmi Party in Haryana, former Enforcement Directorate additional director Shamsuddin joined the Congress on Wednesday in the presence of former Haryana Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda and Congress General Secretary Ghulam Nabi Azad at the AICC headquarters here.
Dr. Shamsuddin joined the Enforcement Directorate as a legal advisor, where he later became additional director and head of the legal division.
Before joining the ED, where he served for over two decades, Shamsuddin, who holds a PhD in law from Aligarh Muslim University, taught in various universities in India and abroad.
Shamsuddin, who hails from Sohna in Haryana, said he will work to strengthen the Congress and ensure the victory of its candidates in the Lok Sabha elections.
Welcoming him in the party, Ghulam Nabi Azad said that he is very hopeful that Shamsuddin will use his knowledge and experience in favour of people of Haryana without any discrimination on the basis of caste and religion.
