The Delhi High Court on Friday (6th Dec) has instructed the Central government to respond to BJP leader Subramanian Swamy’s petition regarding Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s citizenship. The court seeks clarity before issuing orders, with the next hearing set for January 13, 2025. The petition claims Gandhi disclosed British citizenship, potentially affecting his Indian citizenship.
The Centre informed the Allahabad High Court that a plea regarding Rahul Gandhi’s alleged dual citizenship is “under process” and expected to be resolved by December 19. A petition has been filed asking for a CBI investigation into Gandhi’s citizenship status, questioning his eligibility for public office amid claims of British citizenship.
