Action is based on a 2015 complaint filed by BJP MP Subramanian Swamy
The Union Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) has asked Congress president Rahul Gandhi to provide the “factual position” on his citizenship within two weeks, acting on a complaint by BJP MP Subramanian Swamy.
Dr. Swamy has alleged that Mr. Gandhi had declared his nationality as “British” in documents related to a United Kingdom-based company, of which he was a director.
Writing to Mr. Gandhi on Monday, the MHA said it had received a representation from Dr. Swamy that a company, Backops Limited, was registered in the U.K. in 2003 and Mr. Gandhi was a director and secretary in it. The complaint said the annual returns, filed on October 10, 2005, and October 31, 2006, showed Mr. Gandhi’s nationality as British, the MHA wrote. “You are requested to intimate the factual position to this Ministry within a fortnight of receipt of this communication,” the letter reads.
