There have been numerous lies that are being spread on the World Wide Web out of either excess of time or absolute lameness. Of the many fake inputs of information that are doing the rounds on the internet every single day, there are a few that are completely outrageous in terms of whom they target and the level of lacking proof that they come with. Hence after facing numerous such emails and posts I thought of writing a clearer version of the reality. As this involves two important members of the political community in India and it is the right of the masses to know the truth which is being buried under lies.
The clarifications that I have produced in this post are related to the two members of Gandhi family, who correctly are the backbone of the congress and are one of the longest serving political families, having contributed many decades to this country. Sometimes these contributions have taken a toll on them, with blood and sweat, yet they continue till date. Hence I thought if any clarification has to begin, it has to be from them. Please do not mistake this as a biased post towards the UPA. It is merely the truth for my fellow citizens, irrespective of which party they support and what their personal ideologies and perceptions are.
Firstly, let us begin with the question raised often over the internet against Rahul’s arrest at the Boston airport, with alleged 1, 60,000 $ in cash.
Truth: Mr. Subramanian Swamy has a habit of cooking up stories, using his fake persona to spread fictional notions. Quite recently a PIL that was filed against Mr. Gandhi’s Boston detention, was rejected by the Allahabad HC. The proof towards which is pasted underneath.

Secondly, let us discuss the issue that has been the cheapest defamation act against Sonia Gandhi. The issue of her citizenship, which is often considered the reason for her denying the office of the PM.
Truth: She is absolutely a citizen of this country. The claims that suggest otherwise have no proof behind them. Once again the projected claim of Dr. Subramanian Swamy is also a blanket one, for which there is no proof. Knowing the man by his public appearances, one can clearly assume that if he did have any substantial evidence, he would have pursued the matter till its end. But he never does so, because he uses his intelligence only to spot tiny loopholes where commotion can be created, never does he really find something worth sticking to. There were also reports that the then President APJ Abdul Kalam raised the issue of citizenship with Mrs. Gandhi during one of their meets. This too is an absolute lie proven by the following statement that was released officially by the Rashtrapati Bhavan.
19-05-2004 : Rashtrapati Bhavan, New Delhi
PRESS RELEASE
It has been reported in a section of the press that the President Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam had discussed the citizenship issue with Smt. Sonia Gandhi when she met him yesterday at Rashtrapati Bhavan. This is contrary to facts. It did not figure in the discussions at all."
Press releases dating back to 2004 are unavailable on president of India's website. They were removed after 2007 Presidential elections. But one can always get a hard copy from President's Secretariat. Press information Bureau’s link: http://pib.nic.in/newsite/erelease.aspx?relid=1730 is as credible as original source.
Referring to the Citizenship Act 1955, Mrs. Gandhi is a valid citizen of India. Please read for more information.
The proof of Mrs. Sonia Gandhi’s citizenship under the citizenship act of 1955 is as follows.
Thirdly, let us look into the often received claims that challenge the Gandhi families’ education background.
Truth: Before I provide the clarification to the best of my ability, let me point out that it takes a really lame and bored person to be putting in so much effort behind spreading lies. Solely because the people against whom they are spread are of presence, and hence the lie is also bound to get a little share of their attention. The questions that have been raised against Rahul and Sonia Gandhi’s education have never seen the light of day for more than an instant. This is because they are one of the most foolish accusations that have been raised against the Gandhi family. Sonia Gandhi received her English certificate course from Lenox Cook School purportedly coming under the University of Cambridge, in 1965.Rahul Gandhi on the other hand was a student at the University of Cambridge as a member of Trinity College from 1994 to 1995, as was officially confirmed by the press and publications office of Cambridge University. For those who cannot judge from their speeches and decorum the level of their education, read through and see the proof yourself.

Conclusion:
Even after my little effort, I am sure that the lies will not stop. Yet I hope that at least a few people will realize that these allegations are always raised in the manner of a ‘shot in the dark’. There is never any substantial proof or evidence to back them up with. Because if there was, people would not be spreading these lies over the internet, they would rather be submitting them to news agencies or to the legal bodies present within our country.
Very well said ...I our country there are many element who are always free to spread nonsense about Political families specially about Gandhi family which is serving our nation from last 50 years and in future too. Both Sonia & Rahul are very clear politician and you will always found them helping people in flood or earthquake effected areas. Hats off to Gandhi family for there dedication and work.
ReplyDelete@Shekhar even i also feels that from Nehru to Rahul, Gandhi family always been on the front row whenever there is any problem. Even when congress was in opposition they have always supported the government whenever they are needed.
