Now Sanda ad ier ade (99490) is A i 991 Aaa Former Professor of Eoonomics, Indian Insitute o 6 ‘Technology, Delhi & Faculty, Harvard University swamy@post harvard. November 12, 2015. Shri Narendra Modi, Prime Minister of India, South Block, New Delhi. Dear Prime Minister: | am enclosing with this letter some authenticated documents regarding the registration in 2003 and dissolution in 2009 of a Private Ltd. Company in United Kingdom with an address located in London. The name ‘of the company is BACKOPS LIMITED and the Director and Secretary of this company was Mr. Rahul Gandhi, presently Lok Sabha MP. The incorporation Papers of this company No.4874597 was filed with the Registrar of Companies in England and Wales on August 21, 2003 and the dissolution was on February 17, 2009. ‘As you can see from the company Annual Return (on page 6 bottom of the enclosed document) that Mr. Rahul Gandhi has given his date of birth correctly but has declared himself to be of British nationality with an United Kingdom address. The Annual Return filed for this company on October 10, 2005 lists Mr. Rahul Gandhi as Director of the company with United Kingdom address, as well as attestation of his nationality as British. Mr. Rahul Gandhi also held 65% of the shares of the total shares issued by this company as on that date. Same facts were repeated, viz, that Mr. Rahul Gandhi as having British nationality in the Annual Returns filed on October 31, 2006 as well. Finally in the dissolution application as well, Mr. Rahul Gandhi states that his nationality is British as on the date he was appointed as Director of the said company. This is, prima facie, a violation of the law and the constitutional position in the country is as stated below: (1) As per Article 9 of the Indian Constitution every citizen of India is barred from voluntarily acquiring citizenship of any foreign State. While U.K. permits Dual Citizenship, India emphatically does not. Article 18 prohibits an Indian citizen from accepting even foreign titles. Hence Mr. Rahul Gandhi has, prima facie, committed an unconstitutional act and therefore liable to be stripped of his citizenship and membership of the Lok Sabha. (2)No Member of Indian Parliament can incorporate a company abroad without prior permission under the existing laws and without declaring the same in his nomination form as a candidate for election to Parliament. (3)1 may also add that the Enforcement Directorate is aware that Mr. Rahul Gandhi has an illegal undeclared account in Pictet Bank which is headquartered in Zurich. | believe that Mr. P. Chidambaram had cleared before demitting office for the opening of an Indian branch of Pictet Bank which may be verified whether it so happened. | am told by good authority that when Mr. Rahul Gandhi was taken into custody on September 24, 2001 or thereabouts, at Logan airport in Boston with undeclared US$1,60,000 in cash, he had told the U.S. authorities that this was his money withdrawn from Pictet bank and submitted proof of the same to the U.S authorities. Unfortunately the then Prime Minister Mr. Atal Behari Vajpayee in a fit of sympathy for the family, intervened and settled the case to enable Mr. Rahul Gandhi to return to India. | am sure that the records of these happenings are available in the PMO. Hence | urge you to treat this matter with great urgency and immediately take necessary steps to see if this prima facie evidence is rebuttable, and if not, order that Mr. Rahul Gandhi be stripped of his citizenship, and his membership of the Lok Sabha, forthwith.
