Tariq Anwar (born 16 January 1951) is an Indian politician from the Indian National Congress (INC), and a Member of Parliament representing Katihar (Lok Sabha constituency) in Bihar, India. He served as the Minister of State of Agriculture and Food Processing Industries between 2012 and 2014.[1]
Anwar has been a member of the Indian Parliament for more than three decades – elected six times to the Lok Sabha, the lower house, from Katihar, and two times to the Rajya Sabha, the upper house, from Maharashtra.[2] He quit the INC over a presidency dispute of the party in 1999 and formed the Nationalist Congress Party along with Sharad Pawar and P. A. Sangma, before resigning 19 years after, and re-joining the INC in 2018. Anwar has been appointed both general secretary in charge of poll-bound Kerala and a member of the Congress Working Committee (CWC).
