Known for his frequent tirade against veteran Congress leader B Janardhana Poojary, Mr Ashraf had quit and rejoined the Congress party around half a dozen times in recent years.

He had also predicted the end of Congress party in the coastal Karnataka after he quit the party for the last time in January 2014 questioning the appointment of a non-Congressman as the chairman of district Wakf advisory committee.

Dakshina Kannada district-in-charge minister B Ramanth Rai formally re-inducted Mr Ashraf to the Congress in the presence of other party leaders.

I always doubted this guy. He was a reject piece in congRSS and then he started raising his voice for Muslims and then he was thrown out. Because, congRSS never let a person grow with them who has a concern for muslims. After he was thrown out, he was brought into main stream by organizations like, PFI, SDPI and others who work for the Muslim community development. And then congRSS realized the danger that they has to face with with this. So, they bought this puppet again.
