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 Delhi High Court has been petitioned by BJP’s Subramanian Swamy to revoke Rahul Gandhi’s Indian citizenship. This stems from concerns over his alleged roles in a UK company, where he reportedly declared himself as a British national. The matter will be heard in the coming week. The Ministry of Home Affairs is yet to disclose any decision despite seeking clarification in 2019.
