He was inducted into the party by the PCC president Amarinder Singh here.
Welcoming Hans into the party, Amarinder said, given his appeal that goes across all the sections of the society his joining the Congress will definitely benefit it.
He said people like Hans who enjoy a clean image and reputation are widely admired by the people.
Speaking on the occasion Hans said, he had resigned from the Akali Dal about one and a half year ago as he had not found it coming to his expectations.
