Hitting back at BJP leader Subramaniam Swamy’s allegations questioning his nationality, Rahul Gandhi accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of “throwing mud” on him through his “cronies” and dared the government to “jail” him if he is guilty.

He tweeted;

Addressing a Youth Congress gathering on the occasion of the 98th birth anniversary of Indira Gandhi, he accused the RSS and the BJP of throwing mud on his family members ever since he was a child, asserting that he is “not going to be scared” by such things and that he will continue to fight against the BJP.

Ever since I was a child, I have been watching people from the RSS and the BJP throwing mud at my grandmother, my father and even my mother. Different allegations have been levelled against me, but there is not even an iota of truth in them.

Rahul Gandhi did not directly refer to Swamy, he was referring to his allegations on the basis of documents purportedly showing that Gandhi had claimed himself to be a British national – before the company law authorities in the UK – for setting up a company.

The Quint accessed the incorporation document of Backops Limited which clearly shows Gandhi as an Indian citizen.

Swamy had demanded that Gandhi be stripped of Indian citizenship and his Lok Sabha membership. He had written to Modi and later to the Lok Sabha Speaker Sumitra Mahajan.
