Rahul Ghandi : A British Citizen???

The Lok Sabha Ethics Committee has sent a notice to Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi seeking his reply to allegations that he held British citizenship.

In response to questions from reporters at Parliament House, Rahul said, 

“We will deal with it.”

In a statement, AICC media in-charge Randeep Surjewala said, “Shri Rahul Gandhi has since his birth been an Indian citizen. He has never applied for or acquired the citizenship of any other country. Shri Gandhi will reply to the notice of complaint of ethical misconduct in conformity with Parliamentary procedure and we shall not comment upon it in the media.”

He described the repeated questions raised outside Parliament by BJP leaders about Rahul’s citizenship as “political vendetta”. “The facts in this matter can easily be verified by the government of the day. This campaign of the BJP leadership is mala fide and defamatory,” Surjewala said.
