Will deal with citizenship row in Parliament: Rahul Gandhi

Raipur: Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi on Monday said the British citizenship row involving him would be dealt with in the parliament.

“BJP has a habit of spreading lies. We will deal with it (British citizenship controversy) in the parliament”, Mr Gandhi, who was on a day’s visit to Chhattisgarh to pay respect to 18th century Satnami saint Guru Ghasidas at his sacred birth place at Garodpuri Dham in Balod Bazar district nearly 135 km from here, told reporters.

An ethics panel of parliament headed by L.K. Advani has served a notice to Mr Gandhi seeking a reply from him if he once declared himself a British citizen on the legal papers of a company in UK.
