New Delhi: Kannan Gopinathan, who resigned from the Indian Administrative Service in 2019 in protest against the shutdown in Jammu and Kashmir after the abrogation of Article 370 and since then became an activist, joined the Congress on Monday here in the presence of AICC general secretary (Org) KC Venugopal and some others.

"Joining the IAS was a means for me to serve. Leaving it was a necessity to speak. Through the Indian National Congress, I find the space to do both, to serve the people and to raise my voice against injustice," Gopinathan wrote on X.
