BJP leader Subramanian Swamy has filed a petition in the Delhi High Court, challenging Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s Indian citizenship. Swamy is seeking directions from the court for the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) to take action on his representation regarding the cancellation of Gandhi’s citizenship.
Swamy’s petition, represented by Advocate Satya Sabharwal, argues that Rahul Gandhi’s status as an Indian citizen may violate Article 9 of the Constitution of India, read alongside the Indian Citizenship Act of 1955. The plea states that as per Article 9, any Indian citizen who voluntarily acquires citizenship of another country automatically loses their Indian citizenship.
Swamy contends that there is evidence suggesting Rahul Gandhi may have acquired citizenship in another country, and therefore, he should no longer be considered an Indian citizen. To support his claim, Swamy has pointed to certain documents and representations he submitted to the Ministry of Home Affairs, asking for an investigation into Gandhi’s citizenship status.
The plea further mentions that despite multiple follow-ups, the Ministry has not provided any updates or action on Swamy’s complaint. As a result, Swamy has now approached the court to seek directions for the Ministry to respond and act upon his representation.
Context and Background:
This move by Subramanian Swamy is not new, as he has been vocal about his concerns regarding Rahul Gandhi’s citizenship for several years. Swamy has previously alleged that Gandhi might be a British citizen, based on certain documents he claimed to have accessed. However, Gandhi and the Congress Party have consistently denied these allegations, dismissing them as baseless and politically motivated.
Legal Implications:
The petition filed by Swamy could have significant legal and political implications if the court orders the Ministry of Home Affairs to investigate the matter. If proven that Gandhi holds citizenship of another country, it could lead to his disqualification from holding public office in India, including his current position as a Member of Parliament and Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha.
Next Steps:
The Delhi High Court is expected to review Swamy’s plea and decide on the next course of action. If the court issues a notice to the Ministry of Home Affairs, it could set the stage for a detailed investigation into the matter. The outcome of this case could have far-reaching consequences, not only for Rahul Gandhi but also for the broader political landscape in India.
Conclusion:
Subramanian Swamy’s challenge to Rahul Gandhi’s citizenship is a significant development that could lead to a complex legal battle. The Delhi High Court’s decision on whether to entertain Swamy’s plea and direct the Ministry of Home Affairs to act will be closely watched by political observers and legal experts alike.
