Rahul Gandhi`s `British citizenship` |
BJP leader Subramanian Swamy has urged Lok Sabha Speaker Sumitra Mahajan to refer the matter of Congress Party`s vice president Rahul Gandhi`s alleged violation of Constitution and ethical code on citizenship to the Ethics Committee and disqualify him as MP if he isfound guilty. In his letter to Mahajan, Swamy said Gandhi, as a Lok Sabha member, has violated the ethics code to be observed by MPs and urged her to seek an explanation from him. After that if she felt that a prima facie case existed, she may refer the matter to the Ethics Committee of Lok Sabha to decide whether he can continue as MP, and disqualified . Earlier, Swamy wrote to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and released documents purportedly showing that Gandhi had claimed himself to be a British national before the company law authorities there for setting up a company. He had demanded that Gandhi be stripped of his Indian citizenship and Lok Sabha membership. Claiming that his documents of Gandhi`s purported declaration before British authorities were authentic, Swamy said Rahul had failed to disclose in his affidavit as a candidate for Lok Sabha elections in 2009 that he was not a citizen of India or that he had set up a company called `Backups` in Britain.
