We cannot interfere in the proceedings of the ministry and cannot issue any instructions to anyone involved in the proceedings before the Ministry. “The Delhi High Court on February 19 asked the Central Government to inform him about the status of Swami’s representation given to the Ministry of Home Affairs to take a decision on Rahul’s Indian citizenship issue.
‘Rahul Gandhi violates the rules, canceled citizenship’
Swami’s petition filed through advocate Satya Sabharwal said that a letter was sent to the ministry on 6 August 2019, alleging that Rahul had voluntarily disclosed to the British government that he had Britain’s citizenship, which is equal to holding British passports. Swamy has said that despite being an Indian citizen, the Congress leader has violated the Article 9 of the Constitution and the Indian Citizenship Act and his Indian citizenship should be canceled.
