Rahul Gandhi’s British citizenship, new headache for congress

Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi had taken British citizenship to set up a company in the United Kingdom and said Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Subramanian Swamy.

“The Congress has not denied anything. First crime they have admitted, namely that Rahul Gandhi started a company in England and that under the Indian Law cannot be started. Secondly, if you have started you should mention it. When you become an MP, you have to mention it. But you (Rahul) never mentioned it,” Swamy said.

One of India’s most fabled jewels, the Kohinoor, is being passed off as a British crown jewel. If Dr. Subramanian Swamy is to be believed, India’s precious family heirloom is actually British property, but being passed off as an Indian.

“The Congress people are all big liars. They say that I raised this issue in 2012. When and where did I raise this issue? It is the first time that I have bought these downloads from the British Registrar of Company’s website and the Congress has not denied those,” he added.

“Meanwhile, I will file separate cases. I will file the first case in the Enforcement Directorate. Then I will write to the Election Commission to ask whether they know that he has declared himself as the citizen of Britain and perhaps he is also an Indian citizen. So therefore, whether he can remain as a voter in the Indian voter roll,” he said.

“One crime has been admitted by Congi: Buddhu did set up a company in UK. So a FIR is to be registered under FCRA, PMLA, FEMA. I will ask ED.I have traced Backops as a shell co. to companies receiving kickbacks in Indian defence deals’ illegal commission. Another press conference (sic),”Swamy said in a series of tweets.

“For setting up a company in Britain, if he is an Indian citizen and has not informed the Indian Government under FCRA (Foreign Contribution Regulation Act), then he is subjected to prosecution. If he has not declared it in his affidavit as a candidate for Lok Sabha, not once, but twice, then he is subjected to prosecution and even removal from his membership on that basis,” Swamy had said.

“I have produced documents, submitted by the company in which Rahul Gandhi is the 65 percent shareholder, director and company secretary. He is informing the registrar of companies on his annual return that he is a citizen of Britain in writing, not for one year, but four years in a row,” he added.
