NEW DELHI:BJP leader Subramanian Swamy on Monday alleged that Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi has claimed himself to be a British nationalbefore the authorities there and has demanded that he be stripped of Indian citizenship and Lok Sabha membership.
Circulating copies of documents extracted purportedly from the company law authorities of Britain, he told a press conference here that Gandhi had declared himself as a British national in the documents related to a now-dissolved company.
This, he said in a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, is a violation of constitutional provisions and demanded that action be taken against Gandhi.
Swamy said he would write to Lok Sabha Speaker asking for either constitution of a special committee or refer the matter to the Ethics Committee for stripping him of his membership of the House.
(Subramanian Swamy on Monday circulated a paper showing Rahul Gandhi as a British national.)
The Congress, however, sought to dismiss Swamy's charges.
(Congress released this document which mentions Rahul Gandhi as an Indian citizen.)
Party spokesperson Ajay Maken said, "we don't know what he (Swamy) has said. But he has the habit of getting back into news whenever he is sidelined."
"From the day Rahul Gandhi was born, he has been an Indian national and always held an Indian passport," Congress leader RS Surjewala said.
