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.
