Welcome to newsanalysisindia.com newsanalysis views reviews on current affair Is Rahul Gandhi Indian Citizen?

Synopsis: Let SC decides the foreign origin issue of Sonia Gandhi. I want to raise here a legal valid question to draw the attention of whole media, legal experts and politicians including NDA on citizenship of Rahul Gandhi.

(1) Senior Advocate Mr Lekhi had also referred in Delhi High Court to Italian Constitution, which he said prohibits citizens of that country to renounce his or her citizenship. Since Ms Sonia Gandhi has been granted Indian citizenship in 1983, it would amount to her having a “daul citizenship” as per Italian law, which the Indian Constitution did not recognise.

There is still no denial by the governmet on above argument. So as per Italian Constitution no can renounce his/her Italian citizenship. Drama of so called renounces can be allowed to play only in India.

Here it is clear that Rahul Gandhi can’t renounce his Italian citizenship if he keeps Italian Citizenship. And it is fact that Rahul Gandhi can’t deny legally his automatic Italian citizenship obtain by his birth in Italy.

There may be dispute between parents and their children but it does not mean that leglly they can deny the relationship. Chilren can’t write in affidavit or in any official documents names as parents other than their real parents. I found only one naxalite in Bhopal who mentioned in official document Shivraj Patil as his father. His argument was that Shivraj Patil had said that naxalites are his brothers and children. So he also think that it will be better to make Shivraj patil as his father in the registration documents for his weapon mfg factory.

So Rajkumar of Gandhi dynasty to be hero in roadshow can create so many controversies for votes and publicity. Don Abu Azmi, decoit Shima Prihar and terrorist Afzal also got publicity. It depends person to person how they want to get publicity.

Italian citizenship is granted by birth through the paternal line (with no limit on the number of generations)
or through the maternal line (for individuals born after January 1, 1948).

If you were born in any country where citizenship is acquired by birth, and any one of the situations listed below pertains to you,
you may be considered an Italian citizen. For each category all conditions must be met.

* Your mother was an Italian citizen at the time of your birth, you were born after January 1st, 1948 and you never renounced your right to Italian citizenship.

Rahul Gandhi took birth in Italy and it was not in his or others hands. This depends on God. His mother Sonia Gandhi (Sonia Maino) was Italian citizen at that time. There should not be denial from any corner. So here it is clear that Rahul Gandhi is an Italian citizen.

The Constitution of India provides for single citizenship for the entire country. The provisions relating to citizenship are contained in Articles 5 to 11 in Part-II of the Constitution of India. Article 5 to 9 of the Constitution determines who are Indian citizens at the commencement of the Constitution? Article 10 provides for their continuance as such citizens subject to the provisions of any law that may be made by Parliament. Under article 11, the Constitution expressly saves the power of Parliament to make a law to provide for such matters.

The Citizenship Act, 1955 provides for acquisition of Indian citizenship, after the commencement of the Constitution, by birth, descent, registration, naturalization and incorporation of territory and determination of Indian citizenship. It also makes necessary provisions for the termination and deprivation of Indian citizenship under certain circumstances. The Citizenship Rules, 1956 prescribe the forms and procedure for acquisition of Indian citizenship

It means uptill now there is no dual citizenship in India. So here it is clear that Rahul Gandhi is not an Indian Citizen.

Termination is covered in Section 9 of the Citizenship Act, 1955. The provisions for termination are separate and distinct from the provisions for making a declaration of renunciation.

Section 9(1) of the act provides that any citizen of India who by naturalisation or registration acquires the citizenship of another country shall cease to be a citizen of India. It also provides that any citizen of India who voluntarily acquires the citizenship of another country shall cease to be a citizen of India. Notably, the termination provision differs from the renunciation provision because it applies to "any citizen of India" and is not restricted to adults. Indian children therefore also automatically lose their claim to Indian citizenship if at any time after birth they acquire a citizenship of another country by, for example, naturalisation or registration.

Article 5. At the commencement of this Constitution every person who has his domicile in the territory of India; and –

(c) Who has been ordinarily resident in the territory of India for not less than five years immediately preceding such commencement, shall be a citizen of India

Article 8. Notwithstanding anything in article 5, any person who or either of whose parents or any of whose grand-parents was born in India as defined in the Government of India Act, 1935 (as originally enacted), and who is ordinarily residing in any country outside India as so defined shall be deemed to be a citizen of India if he has been registered as a citizen of India by the diplomatic or consular representative of India in the country where he is for the time being residing on an application made by him therfor to such diplomatic or consular representative, where before or after the commencement of this Constitution, in the form and manner prescribed by the Government of the Dominion of India or the Government of India.

Now Government is in the hands of Super PM. So they should make necessay changes immediately with retrospective effect. Congress can give the swords in the hands of monkies. I heard that there was an attack of monkeys in Delhi and other places. To be secure my suggestion may be workable as MM’s joint mechanism for J&K and so called secular appeasement policy of his government.

When did Rahul Gandhi make application for registration hes citizenship in India according to the above mentioned formalties?

On 16 February 1962, a Constitution Bench of the Supreme Court of India held in the case of Izhar Ahmad Khan Vs. Union of India that "If it is shown that the person has acquired foreign citizenship either by naturalisation or registration, there can be no doubt that he ceases to be a citizen of India in consequence of such naturalisation or registration."

Now here people need the help of NDA and Brijesh Mishra whow was chief of the PMO in NDA rule.

A suit had been filed on March 8, 2005 by four lawyers in the high court seeking information about the alleged detention of Congress MP Rahul Gandhi with Italian passport and his Colombian girlfriend by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) in 2001. According to the public interest litigation, Gandhi, the son of Congress president Sonia Gandhi, and his companion were released after being detained at

Boston airport with illegal possession of about $200,000 following the intervention of the Prime Minister’s Office. At that time, Atal Bihari Vajpayee was the Indian prime minister and Brijesh Mishra was a chief of PMO.

His daughter married with an Italian and lived in
Italy. Approach through this channel might be the reason of initiative was taken by Brijesh Mishra.

Rahul Gandhi, son of Sonia Gandhi is an Italian Citizen , as per statement released by Dr.Subramanyam Swami.

PRESS RELEASE
April 2, 2005

I welcome KPCC President Mr.Janardan Poojary's challenge, published
in today's media, to prove my charges against Ms.Sonia Gandhi and her
Italian family. I suggest that if I can establish the prima facie
validity of my charges before a panel, then Mr.Poojary should support
a full fledged inquiry by the CBI.

Hence let Mr.Poojary debate me before a panel of three journalists,
one selected by him, one by me and the third by the Bangalore Press
Club who can be chairperson of the panel.

Before this panel I will establish that there is sufficient prima
facie evidence to show that Ms. Sonia Gandhi has lied to the nation
about her real name, place of birth, her educational qualification,
and has assets disproportionate to her known sources of income, been
an agent of the KGB, and has links to the LTTE. I will also show that
her son Rahul Gandhi is still a citizen of Italy and was arrested by
the FBI at Boston airport on September 27, 2001 but let off on the
intervention of the Prime Minister. Hence Ms. Sonia Gandhi is corrupt
and anti-national. Moreover she is disloyal to the memory of Rajiv
Gandhi by aligning in Tamil Nadu with those who hold his
assassination as justified and proclaim LTTE leader Prabhakaran as
the leader of 'world Tamils'. There cannot be a bigger betrayal than
this.

I am also prepared to question Mr.Poojary on the corrupt loan melas
he authorised as MoS in the Finance Ministry in the 1980s, and the
loss of Rs.10,000 crores to the banks. He should be ready with an
answer.

speaking at the Chief Ministers and Chief Justices conference, Mr Manmohan Singh had said that there was a growing perception that the “PIL had become a tool in the hands of the judiciary for harassment”.

However, the previous Chief Justice of India, Mr Justice Y.K. Sabharwal, in his address at the same conference, had expressed the opposite view. While conceding that the PIL should not become publicity interest litigation, the CJI had said, “PILs have done a great service in the protection of human rights, protection of environment, forest wealth, illegal mining, etc. The PIL should be handled with great care and caution keeping in view the parameters laid down by the Supreme Court in various cases.”

Experts say that till the time the Indian bureaucracy and ministers, including those in the states, act strictly in accordance with the Constitution, carry out development in an equitable manner and take adequate care of various environment, human rights and civic issues, PILs will continue to be filed and action ordered.

What are altervatives of caste and religion based quota issues, foreign origin issue of Sonia Gandhi and citizen ship of Rahul Gandhi and a like other issues.? Why do people become ‘yes madam’ and now ‘yes prince’ as Congress leaders prefer?
