Rahul Gandhi Citizenship Issue, Through Swamy’s Smokescreen

Subramanian Swamy has accused Rahul Gandhi of declaring himself a British citizen to float a firm in that country.

BJP leader Subramanian Swamy recently stoked a political controversy when he claimed that Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi was a British citizen and not an Indian.

Swamy has alleged that Rahul floated a firm called Backops Ltd in 2003, and in its annual return form declared himself a British national. The Congress has, however, dismissed Swamy’s charge saying that someone might have committed a mistake while uploading the document. So, is Swamy simply blowing smoke?
