The ebullient Lok Sabha MP has been nominated by Speaker Meira Kumar to be a member of the Parliamentary Standing Committee on External Affairs.
Tharoor, a former UN Under-Secretary General, had to resign in the wake of the controversy in connection with the IPL Kochi franchisee.
A first-time MP from Thiruvananthapuram, Tharoor was no stranger to controversies during his 11-month stint as Minister of State for External Affairs.
