Rahul`s British citizenship |
Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi was on March 13 served a show-cause notice by the Ethics committee of Parliament asking whether he had declared himself as a British citizen during his stay in the United Kingdom. A showcause notice has been issued seeking his (Rahul’s) response on why he declared himself British citizen in documents related to a UK company, according to Parliament’s ethics committee member Arjun Ram Meghwal . Rahul was brief in his reaction: “We’ll deal with that.”In January, BJP’s Delhi MP Maheish Girri had complained to the Lok Sabha Speaker against Rahul’s alleged “dual citizenship”. Accusing Rahul of declaring himself a British citizen to float a firm in the UK, BJP leader Subramanian Swamy had written to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, demanding that the Congress MP be stripped of his Indian citizenship as well as his parliamentary membership.
