Companies House, a United Kingdom government department, had last week confirmed that the 2005 and 2006 returns of Backops, a private firm set up in the United Kingdom by Rahul Gandhi in 2003, showed his nationality as British but said it “could very well be an error made by whoever submitted the information”.
Rahul, who is now 44, said he has seen the RSS and the BJP attack his family since childhood.
Party spokesman Randeep Surjewala said, “Just like his grandmother, his father and his mother, Rahul Gandhi has thrown the gauntlet at PM Modi by pointing to him that falsehood and malicious agenda can not curb the voice of India”.
Meanwhile, nobody from the Modi government turned up to pay homage to Indira Gandhi at Shaktisthal where she was cremated after being assassinated by her two body guards on October 31, 1984.
Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi speaks at Youth Congress’ national convention. However, he couldn’t resist taking a swipe at the Congress, pointing out that the country “remembers Rajiv’s statement and people cite his comments during debates on tolerance and intolerance”. I will not withdraw (from attacking Modi). I have produced prima facia proof that he declared himself as British citizen.
The BJP yesterday said this is a “serious issue” and it awaits “legal clarification from the Congress”. “Today, when we see the ruling establishment pursuing communal and divisive politics, when we see the ruling establishment following policies that favour the few and the powerful at the expense of the weak and the many…Indiraji’s life and values acquire even greater importance”, she said. That is RSS. They are giving a bad name to all of us.
Former prime minister Manmohan Singh said the economic policy had no sense of direction under the Modi government.
She said Indira Gandhi was dedicated to ensuring national unity while being fiercely proud and protective of its many diversities and was an “an inspiration to all of us”.
Sonia Gandhi also referred to the string of defeats faced by her party and its recent success in Bihar assembly elections.
