She therefore, despite all the contrived media hype, did not, and could not, become the Prime Minister of 1 billion plus people of India.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;It can now be said that Bharat Mata has been saved from a monumental, devastating, and permanent injury to her national interest and to the patriotic psyche of Indians.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Therefore, it should be the resolve of every Indian to make any and every effort that can be made in a democracy, to ensure that Ms. Sonia Gandhi is kept permanently out of reckoning for any public office. For those who instinctively understand that imperative, this Note has been written to explain the factual basis for this rational determination, and suggest what patriotic Indians can do now to implement that democratic and patriotic resolution.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;My opposition to Ms. Sonia Gandhi is not merely because she is Italian—born, although that by itself is a major issue. In other democratic countries, including in Italy, such an issue [of foreign-born aspiring to be head of government]would not even arise at all because the issue has already been settled by incorporating into law that a person cannot hold the highest public office unless he or she is native born.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;In India there is no such law but the President, according my knowledge, has correctly acted on a proviso to Section 5 of the Indian Citizenship Act[1955] which requires the Union Home Ministry to lay down conditions to Indian citizenship acquired by foreigners by registration, condition based on the principle of reciprocity&lt;a style="font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 11px; font-style: normal; line-height: normal; font-weight: bold; font-variant: normal; text-transform: none; color: rgb(255, 51, 0); text-decoration: none;" href="http://www.janataparty.org/annexures/ann01p01.html"&gt; &lt;/a&gt;&lt;a name="1"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a style="font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 11px; font-style: normal; line-height: normal; font-weight: bold; font-variant: normal; text-transform: none; color: rgb(255, 51, 0); text-decoration: none;" href="http://www.janataparty.org/annexures/ann01p01.html"&gt;[see annexure 1 &amp;amp; 2]&lt;/a&gt;. In Ms Gandhi’s case, such of those conditions that apply to Indians on becoming citizens of Italy, would apply to her.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The President reportedly had communicated to Ms. Gandhi on the afternoon of May 17, 2004, that if she insisted on being invited to form the government, he would want first to clarify, on a reference to the Supreme Court, whether in view of this proviso her appointment as PM could be successfully challenged in the court.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;It is fair to assume that this report of the President’s decision is correct, since the President had before him my petition dated May 15, 2004 &lt;a name="3"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a style="font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 11px; font-style: normal; line-height: normal; font-weight: bold; font-variant: normal; text-transform: none; color: rgb(255, 51, 0); text-decoration: none;" href="http://www.janataparty.org/annexures/ann03p22.html"&gt;[see Annexure-3]&lt;/a&gt; making just that point— that Ms. Gandhi’s citizenship is conditional, and in particular she cannot be the PM legally.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The President had also given me an appointment at 12.45 PM on May 17, 2004 to explain my submissions in person, which I did. I also told him that I would challenge such a unconstitutional appointment in the Supreme Court just as I had in 2001 when Ms Jayalalitha was illegally sworn in as Chief Minister by the Tamil Nadu Governor.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;In that case, the Supreme Court had after hearing me and many other constitutional luminaries, upheld my contention that mere majority in the House is insufficient for being sworn in to a constitutional office, and that the constitutional appointing authority must ensure that there are no disqualifications as well. Ms. Jayalalitha had therefore to step down because she had been disqualified by her conviction in a trial court in the TANSI corruption case [filed by me as a private complaint]. She was subsequently acquitted by the Madras High Court, and hence became eligible the following year.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;I also cited to the President a 1962 Allahabad High Court case which held that this proviso in the Citizenship Act was binding and lawful.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The nation by the stalling of Sonia becoming Prime Minister of India, has thus got an unexpected but temporary reprieve, a reprieve received not only because her citizenship of India by registration is not equal to one by birth even by Indian law, but a reprieve more because of the national security risk that was averted.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;To comprehend that risk, we must however first understand who Sonia Gandhi really is and what kind of danger she, her family and her friends in Italy, hold for India’s national security. Very little is known about the Mainos’ murky past, and the little that we are told about Sonia are lies. In other words, Indians do not know who Sonia really is or what she represents &lt;a name="4"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a style="font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 11px; font-style: normal; line-height: normal; font-weight: bold; font-variant: normal; text-transform: none; color: rgb(255, 51, 0); text-decoration: none;" href="http://www.janataparty.org/annexures/ann04p23.html"&gt;[see Annexure-4]&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Even for an Indian born citizen, we find it difficult to know a person’s true background, but for a foreign-born it is extremely hard because of the remoteness of the place and the language barrier for most people, in this case—Italian.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;This note is thus an aide d’memoir of certain verifiable facts that taken together constitute the danger that Sonia Gandhi represents for the nation. And that is the real Sonia and what she represents.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: normal; line-height: normal; font-weight: bold; font-variant: normal; text-transform: none; color: rgb(255, 51, 0); text-decoration: none;font-family:Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:11px;"  &gt;THREE LIES&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p align="left"&gt;Ms. Sonia Gandhi’s background as publicized by her and her Congress Party is based on three lies in order to hide the ugly reality of her life.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;First&lt;/strong&gt;, her real name is Antonia not Sonia. This was revealed by the Italian Ambassador in New Delhi in a letter dated April 27, 1983 &lt;a name="5"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a style="font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 11px; font-style: normal; line-height: normal; font-weight: bold; font-variant: normal; text-transform: none; color: rgb(255, 51, 0); text-decoration: none;" href="http://www.janataparty.org/annexures/ann05p32.html"&gt;[see Annexure-5]&lt;/a&gt; to the Union Home Ministry which letter has not been made public. Antonia is Sonia’s real name as stated in her birth certificate.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Sonia is the name given to her subsequently by her father, Stefano Maino [now deceased]. He had been a prisoner of war in Russia during World War II. Stefano had joined the Nazi army as a volunteer, as many Italian fascists had done. Sonia is a Russian not Italian name. While spending two years in a Russian jail, Sonia’s father had become quite pro-Soviet, especially after the liberating US army in Italy had confiscated all fascists’ properties including his.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Second&lt;/strong&gt;, Sonia was not born in Orbassano as she claims in her bio data submitted to Parliament on becoming MP, but in Luciana as stated in her birth certificate. She perhaps would like to hide the place of her birth because of her father’s connection with the Nazis and Mussolini’s Fascists, and her family’s continuing connections with the Nazi-Fascists underground that is still surviving in Italy since the end of the War. Luciana is where Nazi-Fascist network is headquartered, and is on the Italian-Swiss border. There can be no other explanation for this otherwise meaningless lie.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Third&lt;/strong&gt;, Sonia Gandhi has not studied beyond High School. But she has falsely claimed in her sworn affidavit&lt;a name="6"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a style="font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 11px; font-style: normal; line-height: normal; font-weight: bold; font-variant: normal; text-transform: none; color: rgb(255, 51, 0); text-decoration: none;" href="http://www.janataparty.org/annexures/ann06p33.html"&gt;[see Annexure-6]&lt;/a&gt; filed as a contesting candidate before the Rae Bareli Returning Officer in the 2004 Lok Sabha elections, that she qualified and got a diploma in English from the prestigious University of Cambridge, UK.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Earlier, in 1999 in her biographical data given under her signature to the Lok Sabha Secretariat and which was published in Parliament’s Who’s Who, she had made the same false claim &lt;a name="7"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a style="font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 11px; font-style: normal; line-height: normal; font-weight: bold; font-variant: normal; text-transform: none; color: rgb(255, 51, 0); text-decoration: none;" href="http://www.janataparty.org/annexures/ann07p35.html"&gt;[see Annexure-7]&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;But later she wrote to the Lok Sabha Speaker, after I had pointed it out to him in a written complaint of a Breach of Ethics of the Lok Sabha, that it was a “typing mistake”. This qualifies her for inclusion thus in the the Guinness Book of World Records as the longest typing mistake in history.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The truth is that Ms. Gandhi has never studied in any college anywhere. She did go to a Catholic nun–run seminary school called Maria Ausiliatrice in Giaveno [15 kms from her adopted home town of Orbassabo]. Poverty those days had forced young Italian girls to go to such missionaries and then in their teens go to UK to get jobs as cleaning maids, waitresses and au pair. The Mainos were poor those days. Sonia’s father was a mason and mother a share cropper [now the family is worth at least $ 2 billion: &lt;a name="10"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a style="font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 11px; font-style: normal; line-height: normal; font-weight: bold; font-variant: normal; text-transform: none; color: rgb(255, 51, 0); text-decoration: none;" href="http://www.janataparty.org/annexures/ann10p43.html"&gt;(see Annexure-10)&lt;/a&gt;].&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Sonia thus went to the town of Cambridge UK and first learnt some English in a teaching shop called Lennox School [which has since 1990 been wound up]. That is her “education”— enough English language to get domestic help jobs.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;But since in Indian society, education is socially highly valued, thus to fool the Indian public, Sonia Gandhi wilfully lied about her qualifications in Parliamentary records [which is a Breach of Ethics Rules] and in a sworn affidavit [which is criminal offence under IPC, severe enough to disqualify her from being MP]. This also violated the spirit of the Supreme Court judgment requiring candidates to reveal their educational qualification on an affidavit &lt;a name="8"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a style="font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 11px; font-style: normal; line-height: normal; font-weight: bold; font-variant: normal; text-transform: none; color: rgb(255, 51, 0); text-decoration: none;" href="http://www.janataparty.org/annexures/ann08p40.html"&gt;[see Annexure-8]&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;These three lies indicate that Ms. Sonia Gandhi has something to hide, or has a hidden agenda for India to brazenly fool Indians for some ulterior purpose. We therefore need to find out more about her.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: normal; line-height: normal; font-weight: bold; font-variant: normal; text-transform: none; color: rgb(255, 51, 0); text-decoration: none;font-family:Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:11px;"  &gt;SONIA’S INTRODUCTION INTO INDIA&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Ms. Sonia Gandhi upon learning enough English, became a waitress in Varsity Restaurant in Cambridge town. She first met Rajiv when he came to the restaurant in 1965. Rajiv was a student in the University, but could not cope with the academic rigour for long. So he had to depart in 1966 for London where he was briefly in Imperial College of Engineering as a student. Sonia too moved to London, and according my information,&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;"&gt;got a job with an outfit run by Salman Thassir, a debonair Pakistani based in Lahore, and who has a export-import company headquartered in Dubai but who spends most of his time in London. This fits the profile of a ISI functionary.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Obviously, Sonia made enough money in this job to loan Rajiv funds in London, who was living beyond his allowances [Indira herself had expressed anguish to me on this score in late 1965 when I was a young Harvard professor of economics. She had invited me to a private tea at the Guest House in Brandeis University where she was staying].&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Rajiv’s letters to Sanjay filed in Delhi High Court by P.N. Lekhi &lt;a name="9"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a style="font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 11px; font-style: normal; line-height: normal; font-weight: bold; font-variant: normal; text-transform: none; color: rgb(255, 51, 0); text-decoration: none;" href="http://www.janataparty.org/annexures/ann09p41.html"&gt;[see Annexure-9]&lt;/a&gt; clearly indicate that he was in financial debt to Sonia because he requested Sanjay also in UK then, and who obviously had more access to money, to pay off the debt.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;However, Rajiv was not the only friend Sonia was seeing those days. Madhavrao Scindia and a German by name Stiegler are worth mentioning as other good friends of Sonia. Madhavrao’s friendship continued even after Sonia’s marriage to Rajiv. Scindia in 1982 was involved in a traffic accident near IIT, Delhi main gate while driving a car at 2 AM. Sonia was the only other passenger. Both were badly injured. A student of IIT who was burning midnight oil was out for a cup of coffee. He picked them up from the car, hailed an auto rickshaw and sent an injured Sonia to Mrs Indira Gandhi’s house since she insisted in not going to a hospital. Madhavrao had broken a leg and in too much pain to make any demand. He was taken to hospital by the Delhi Police who had arrived a little after Sonia had left the scene.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;In later years, Madhavrao had become privately critical of Sonia, and told some close friends about his apprehensions about her. It is a pity that he died in mysterious circumstances in an as yet uninvestigated aircrash of his private plane in the year 2001. Mani Shankar Aiyar and Shiela Dikshit were to be on that flight too, but were asked to stay behind at the last moment.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The circumstance under which Rajiv hastily married Sonia in a Church in Orbassano is controversial, but that was his personal matter which has no public significance. What however is of public significance is that Indira Gandhi who was initially dead set against the marriage for reasons known to her, relented to hold a registry marriage with Hindu ceremonial trappings in New Delhi only after the pro-Soviet T.N. Kaul prevailed upon her to accept the marriage in “the larger interest of cementing Indo-Soviet Friendship”. Kaul would not have intervened unless the Soviet Union had not asked him to.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: normal; line-height: normal; font-weight: bold; font-variant: normal; text-transform: none; color: rgb(255, 51, 0); text-decoration: none;font-family:Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:11px;"  &gt;SONIA’S KGB CONNECTIONS&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Such has been the patronage from the beginning extended to Sonia Gandhi and her Italian family from the Soviets. When a Prime Minister of India’s son dates a girl in London, the KGB which valued Indo-Soviet relations, would naturally investigate her. They had, and found out that she was the daughter of Stefano, their old reliable Italian contact. Thus, Sonia married to Rajiv, meant deep access for the Soviets, into the household of the Indian Prime Minister. Hence cementing the Rajiv-Sonia relations was in the Soviet national interest and they went to work on it. And they did, through their moles in the Indira Gandhi camp.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;After her marriage to Rajiv, the Soviet connection with the Mainos was fortified and nurtured by generous financial help through commissions and kick-backs on every Indo—Soviet trade deal and defence purchases. According to the respected Swiss magazine, Schweitzer Illustrate &lt;a name="10"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a style="font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 11px; font-style: normal; line-height: normal; font-weight: bold; font-variant: normal; text-transform: none; color: rgb(255, 51, 0); text-decoration: none;" href="http://www.janataparty.org/annexures/ann10p43.html"&gt;[November 1991 issue; see Annexure-10]&lt;/a&gt; Rajiv Gandhi had about $2 billion in numbered Swiss bank accounts—which Sonia inherited upon his assassination.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Dr. Yevgenia Albats, Ph.D[Harvard], is a noted Russian scholar and journalist, and was a member of the KGB Commission set up by President Yeltsin in August 1991. She was privy to the Soviet intelligence files that documented these deals and KGB facilitation of the same. In her book—“The State Within a State: The KGB in the Soviet Union”, she even gives the reference numbers of such intelligence files&lt;a style="font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 11px; font-style: normal; line-height: normal; font-weight: bold; font-variant: normal; text-transform: none; color: rgb(255, 51, 0); text-decoration: none;" href="http://www.janataparty.org/annexures/ann11p47.html"&gt; &lt;/a&gt;&lt;a name="11"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a style="font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 11px; font-style: normal; line-height: normal; font-weight: bold; font-variant: normal; text-transform: none; color: rgb(255, 51, 0); text-decoration: none;" href="http://www.janataparty.org/annexures/ann11p47.html"&gt;[see Annexure-11] &lt;/a&gt;which can now be accessed by any Indian government through a formal request to the Kremlin.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The Russian Government in 1992 was confronted with the Albats’ disclosure by the media. The official spokesperson of the government confirmed the veracity of the disclosure &lt;a name="12"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a style="font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 11px; font-style: normal; line-height: normal; font-weight: bold; font-variant: normal; text-transform: none; color: rgb(255, 51, 0); text-decoration: none;" href="http://www.janataparty.org/annexures/ann12p55.html"&gt;[which was published in Hindu in 1992; see Annexure-12]&lt;/a&gt;. The spokesperson defended such financial payments as necessary in “Soviet ideological interest”. Part of the funds were used by the Maino family to fund loyal Congress party candidates in the General Elections &lt;a name="13"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a style="font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 11px; font-style: normal; line-height: normal; font-weight: bold; font-variant: normal; text-transform: none; color: rgb(255, 51, 0); text-decoration: none;" href="http://www.janataparty.org/annexures/ann13p58.html"&gt;[see Annexure-13]&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;When the Soviet Union disintegrated in 1991, things changed for Ms. Sonia Gandhi. Her patron nation had been disbanded into 16 countries. The rump that became Russia was in a financial mess and disorder. So, Ms. Sonia Gandhi switched and became a supporter of another communist country much to the annoyance of the Russians.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The national security ramification of this ‘annoyance’ is now significant: The President of Russia today is Putin, a former dyed-in-the-wool KGB officer. Upon Dr. Manmohan Singh’s government taking office, Russia called back it’s career diplomat Ambassador in New Delhi and immediately posted in his place, as the new Ambassador, a person who was the KGB station chief in New Delhi during the 1970s.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;In view of Dr. Albats revelation, it stands to reason that the new Ambassador would have known first hand about Sonia’s connections with the KGB. He may have in fact been her “controller” and local contact. The new Indian government today which is defacto Sonia’s, cannot afford to annoy him or even disregard Russian demands that come from him. The Sonia coterie will obviously seek to placate him so as not to risk exposure. Is this not a major national security risk for India and a delicate matter for the nation’s sovereignty?&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Of course, all Indians would like good normal and healthy relations with Russia. Who can forget their assistance to us in times of need? Today’s Russia is the residual legatee of that Soviet Union which helped India. But just because of that, should we tolerate those in our government set up having clandestine links with a foreign spy agency? In the United States, the government did not tolerate an American spying for Israel even though the two countries are as close as any two countries can be. National security and friendship are as different as chalk and cheese.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;In December 2001, I had filed a Writ Petition in the Delhi High Court with the photocopies of the KGB documents, and sought a CBI investigation which the Vajpayee Government was stoutly refusing. Earlier, Minister of State for CBI, Vasundara Raje[now Rajasthan CM], on my letter dated March 3, 2001, had ordered the CBI to investigate. But after Sonia Gandhi and her party stalled the proceedings of Parliament on this issue, the then Prime Minister Vajpayee overruled and cancelled Vasundara’s direction to the CBI.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The Delhi High Court in May 2002 issued a direction to the CBI to ascertain from Russia the truth of my charges. The CBI procrastinated for two years, and finally told the Court that without an FIR registered, the Russians will not entertain any such query. But who stopped the CBI from registering an FIR? The Vajpayee government! And why? Thereby hangs another tale.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The next hearing of the case is imminent. But now Sonia is in the driver’s seat, and the CBI has been reduced in independence even further.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: normal; line-height: normal; font-weight: bold; font-variant: normal; text-transform: none; color: rgb(255, 51, 0); text-decoration: none;font-family:Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:11px;"  &gt;SONIA’S CONTEMPT FOR LAWS OF INDIA&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;After Sonia married Rajiv, she and her Italian family aided by friend and Snam Progetti’s New Delhi resident Ottavio Quattrocchi, went about minting money with scant regard for Indian laws and treasures. Within a few years the Mainos rose from utter poverty to become billionaires &lt;a name="14"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a style="font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 11px; font-style: normal; line-height: normal; font-weight: bold; font-variant: normal; text-transform: none; color: rgb(255, 51, 0); text-decoration: none;" href="http://www.janataparty.org/annexures/ann14p60.html"&gt;[see Annexure-14]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;There was no area that was left out for the rip-off. On November 19, 1974, as fresh entrant to Parliament, I had asked the then Prime Minister Ms. Indira Gandhi on the floor of the House if her daughter-in-law, Sonia Gandhi, was acting as an insurance agent of a public sector insurance company[Oriental Fire&amp;amp;Insurance], giving the Prime Minister’s official residence as her business address, and using undue influence to get insured the officers of the PMO, while remaining as an Italian citizen[thus violating FERA]. There was an uproar in Parliament, but Mrs. Indira Gandhi had no alternative but to cut her losses. She made a rare admission in a written reply a few days later that it indeed was so, and that it was by mistake, but that Sonia had resigned from her insurance agency[after my question]. But Sonia was incorrigible. Her contempt for Indian law continued to manifest.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The Supreme Court Justice A.C. Gupta Commission set up by the Janata Party government in 1977 came out with a voluminous report on the Maruti Company then owned by the Gandhi family, and has listed eight violations of FERA, Companies Act, and Foreigners Registration Act by Sonia Gandhi. She was never prosecuted, but can still be prosecuted because under Indian law, economic crimes are not subject to the statute of limitation.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;In January 1980, Indira Gandhi returned as Prime Minister. The first thing Sonia did was to enroll herself as a voter. This was a gross violation of the law, enough to cause cancellation of her visa [since she was admittedly an Italian citizen then]. There was some hullabaloo in the press about it, so the Delhi Chief Electoral Officer got her name deleted in 1982. But in January 1983, she again enrolled herself as a voter even while as a foreigner [she first applied for citizenship in April 1983] &lt;a name="15"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a style="font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 11px; font-style: normal; line-height: normal; font-weight: bold; font-variant: normal; text-transform: none; color: rgb(255, 51, 0); text-decoration: none;" href="http://www.janataparty.org/annexures/ann15p61.html"&gt;(see Annexure-15)&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;More recently, A.G. Noorani is his book: Citizen’s Rights, Judges, and State Accountability records [page 318] that Ms. Sonia Gandhi had made available to a foreign national the secret papers of Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru obviously illegally in her possession, and comments as follows:&lt;br /&gt;“Sonia Gandhi has no right to hold them in her possession at all, let alone decide whom to accord permission for access to them”&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Such is her revealed disdain for Indian laws and that is her mindset even today. She suffers from a neo-imperialist mentality.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: normal; line-height: normal; font-weight: bold; font-variant: normal; text-transform: none; color: rgb(255, 51, 0); text-decoration: none;font-family:Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:11px;"  &gt;SONIA GANDHI IS THE MODERN ROBERT CLIVE&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The bottom line observed in Sonia’s mindset is that she can disregard Indian laws with impunity. If cornered or if she becomes vulnerable to prosecution, she can always run back to Italy. In Peru, President Fujimori who all along claimed to be “born Peruvian”, when faced with a corruption charge fled to Japan with his loot and reclaimed his Japanese citizenship. That is Sonia’s bottom line fall-back option too.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;"&gt;In 1977, when the Janata Party defeated the Congress at the polls, and formed the government, it widely known and published that Sonia with her two children abandoned Indira Gandhi, and ran to the Italian Embassy in New Delhi and hid there.&lt;/span&gt; Rajiv Gandhi was a government servant then[as an Indian Airlines pilot], but he too tagged along and hid in that foreign embassy ! Such was her baneful influence on him. Rajiv did snap out Sonia’s influence after 1989, but alas he was assassinated before he could rectify the situation.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Those close to Rajiv knew that he was planning set things right about Sonia after the 1991 elections. He held her to blame for all the financial scandals that led to his defeat at the 1989 polls. She knew of it too because he had told her on his trip to Soviet Union in February 1991. Ever wonder why Sonia’s closest advisers are those whom Rajiv literally hated? Ambika Soni is one such name. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;Ever wonder why she has asked the President of India to set aside on a mercy petition the Supreme Court judgment directing that Rajiv Gandhi’s LTTE killers be hanged, when she was not similiarly moved for Satwant Singh who killed Indira Gandhi or even recently for Dhanajoy Chattopadhyaya ? The explanation for this special consideration for the LTTE perhaps lies in what Rajiv had told her about their future. May be therefore Sonia feels obliged to the LTTE for the assassination.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 102, 0);"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;More on this later.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Those who have no love for India will not hesitate to plunder her treasures. Mohammed Ghori, Nadir Shah, and the British scum in the East India Company such as Robert Clive, made no secret of it. But Sonia Gandhi has been more discreet, but as greedy, in her looting of Indian treasures. When Indira Gandhi and Rajiv Gandhi were Prime Ministers, not a day passed when the PM’s security did not go to the New Delhi, or Chennai international airport to send crates and crates of Indian antiques and other treasures, unchecked by customs, to Rome. Air India and Alitalia were the chosen carriers. For organizing all this, Mr. Arjun Singh first as CM, later as Union Minister in charge of Culture, was her hatchet man.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Indian temple sculpture of gods and goddesses, antiques, pichwai paintings, shatoosh shawls, coins, and you name it, were transported to Italy to be first displayed in two shops &lt;a name="16"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a style="font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 11px; font-style: normal; line-height: normal; font-weight: bold; font-variant: normal; text-transform: none; color: rgb(255, 51, 0); text-decoration: none;" href="http://www.janataparty.org/annexures/ann16p62.html"&gt;[see Annexure-16]&lt;/a&gt; owned by her sister, Anuskha alias Alessandra Maino Vinci. These shops located in blue-collar areas of Rivolta[shop name: Etnica] and Orbassano [shop name: Ganpati] did little business because which blue collar Italian wants to buy Indian antiques ? The shops were there to make false bills, and thereafter these treasures were taken to London for auction by Sotheby’s and Christies.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Some of this ill-gotten money from auction went into the bank accounts of Rahul Gandhi in the National Westminister Bank and Hongkong &amp;amp; Shanghai Bank, London branches, but most of it found it’s way into the Gandhi family account in the Bank of America in Cayman Islands. Rahul’s expenses and tuition fees for the one year he was at Harvard, was paid from that Cayman Island account &lt;a name="17"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a style="font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 11px; font-style: normal; line-height: normal; font-weight: bold; font-variant: normal; text-transform: none; color: rgb(255, 51, 0); text-decoration: none;" href="http://www.janataparty.org/annexures/ann17p66.html"&gt;[see Annexures-17].&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;What kind of people are these Gandhi-Mainos that bite the very hand of Bharat Mata that fed them and gave them a good life? How can the nation trust or tolerate such greedy thieves of national treasures?&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Since I failed to persuade the Vajpayee government to defend India’s treasures from plunder by the Mainos, I approached the Delhi High Court in a PIL. The first Bench of the court issued notice to the Government, but since the Indian government dragged it’s feet, the Court directed the CBI to seek Interpol’s and Italian government’s help. The Italian government justifiably asked for a Letter Rogatory for which a FIR is a pre-requisite. But the Interpol did oblige and submitted two voluminous reports on the shops which the Court directed the CBI to hand over to me. But CBI has so far refused, and has claimed privilege!&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;This question will be argued out at the next hearing of my PIL.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The CBI has also been caught lying in court by telling the judges that Alessandra Maino is a name of a man, and Via Bellini 14, Orbassano is a name of a village[not the street address of the Maino’s residence]. Although the CBI counsel had to apologise later to the court stating he had made a mistake, he has been promoted to Additional Solicitor General by the new government! Why was he appointed as the CBI’s counsel by the Vajpayee government in the first place? The Vajpayee-Sonia mutual assistance pact is thus in full view in this episode.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;But the most sinister aspect of Sonia Gandhi’s links is her connection with terrorists. I am still working on it, but she has had long connection with the Habash group of Palestinians [PFLP], and has funded Palestinian families that lost their kith and kin in a suicide bombing or hijacking episode. This fact, Rajiv Gandhi himself told me and was confirmed to me [the funding aspect] by Yassir Arafat when I met him in Tunis on October 17, 1990 at the request of Rajiv Gandhi. Rajiv and I were good friends from 1978, but became very close friends after V.P. Singh had betrayed him in 1987. We met practically every day, mostly in the early hours from 1AM to 4AM, discussed, chatted and gossiped on every topic. It was at my suggestion that Rajiv made Chandrashekhar the PM. And contrary to public impression, he was not mainly responsible for fall of Chandrashekar government[of which I was a Minister].&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Besides the Palestinian extremists, the Maino family have had extensive business dealings with Saddam Hussein &lt;a name="18"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a style="font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 11px; font-style: normal; line-height: normal; font-weight: bold; font-variant: normal; text-transform: none; color: rgb(255, 51, 0); text-decoration: none;" href="http://www.janataparty.org/annexures/ann18p68.html"&gt;[see Annexure-18]&lt;/a&gt;, and surprisingly since 1984 with the LTTE [“the Tamil Tigers”]. Sonia’s mother Paola Predebon Maino, and businessman Ottavio Quattrocchi are the main contacts with the Tigers. The mother used the LTTE for money laundering and Quattrocchi for selling weapons to earn commissions. Sonia’s conduit to the LTTE has been and is through Arjun Singh who uses Bangalore as the nodal point for contact.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;There is a string of circumstantial evidence pointing to the prima facie possibility that the Maino family may have contracted with the LTTE to kill Rajiv Gandhi. The family may have assured the LTTE that nothing would happen to them because they would ensure it is blamed on the Sikhs or the evidence so much fudged that no court would convict them[ the LTTE intercepted transcripts show this expectation of the LTTE]. But D.R. Karthikeyan of the CBI who led the SIT investigation got the support of Narasimha Rao, cracked the case, and succeeded in getting the LTTE convicted in the trial court, which conviction was upheld by the Supreme Court in 1999.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Although on the involvement of some members of the Congress Party in the assassination, DRK soft peddled it ignoring a number of leads perhaps because he did not want political controversy to put road blocks on his investigation as a whole.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The Justice J. S. Verma Commission, which was set up as the last official act of the Chandrashekhar government before demitting office on June 21, 1991, did find that the Congress leaders had disrupted the security arrangements for the Sriperumbudur meeting. The Commission wanted further probe into it but the Rao government rejected that demand. In the meantime under Sonia’s pressure, the Jain Commission was set up by the Rao government, which tried to muddy the waters and thus exonerate the LTTE. But the trial court judgment convicting the LTTE came earlier than the Commission could conclude, and that sinister effort therefore too failed.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Nowadays, Sonia is quite unabashed in having political alliance with those who like MDMK, PMK, and DMK praise Rajiv Gandhi’s killers. No Indian widow would ever do that. Such circumstances are many, and raise a doubt. My investigations into Sonia’s involvement in Rajiv’s assassination is therefore necessary. I am also author of a best seller titled Assassination Of Rajiv Gandhi—Unasked Questions and Unanswered Queries[published by Konark in 2000] in which I have given some indications of this possible conspiracy.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Is it not significant that the political career graph of Sonia Gandhi advances concomitantly with a series of assassinations and apparently accidental deaths?&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;How did Sanjay’s plane on June 23, 1980 nosedive to a crash and yet the plane fuselage failed to explode upon impact? There was no fuel ! How was that possible since flight register shows full tank before take-off ? Why was there no inquiry conducted ?&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Is it not a fact that Indira Gandhi died because of loss of blood from the wounds and not directly due to a bullet impacting her head or heart ? Then is it not strange that Sonia had insisted that the bleeding Indira be driven to Lohia Hospital– in the opposite direction to AIIMS which had a contingency protocol set up for precisely such an event ? And after reaching Lohia Hospital, did not Sonia change her mind and demand that they all drive to AIIMS thus losing 24 valuable minutes ?&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The same kind of mystery surrounds the sudden deaths of Sonia’s other political roadblocks such as Rajesh Pilot, Jitendra Prasad, and Madhavrao Scindia. Such untimely deaths happened in the dark ages in Italy. Should we allow it to happen in India like dumb cattle going to slaughter?&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: normal; line-height: normal; font-weight: bold; font-variant: normal; text-transform: none; color: rgb(255, 51, 0); text-decoration: none;font-family:Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:11px;"  &gt;WHAT PATRIOTIC INDIANS CAN DO&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;We have to ensure that the Maino clan does not stay in power. Dr. Manmohan Singh may be PM, which is a small relief, but he is not a fighter. The real power in government today is wielded by the Maino mafia gang. Can they be dethroned? I argue that they must be, for India’s integrity and democracy.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;In Indian democracy, other than by losing majority, only a shocking scandal can unseat a government. Today’s priority is however not for toppling the Congress government as such, since Manmohan Singh is a decent and scholarly person, but in driving the Maino clan out of India. If the only way that can be done is by toppling the Singh government, then so be it. But the successor government should be such that it will not protect Sonia and her clan as Vajpayee’s did.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;It will although not be long before Sonia will give Manmohan Singh marching orders, and he will march out meekly. We should not expect him to resist. Thus time with patriotic Indians is limited.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;With Sonia’s defacto government in place, it is also unrealistic to expect that I can get an early victory in the courts on the KGB and antique smuggling cases. The most potent scandal at hand, therefore, that can dislodge the Maino clan[including Rahul and Priyanka] lies in exposing their existing Italian citizenship. That will galvanise the people.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;In 1992, Sonia had revived her citizenship of Italy under Article 17 of the Italian Citizenship Law [Act 91 of 1992]. Rahul and Priyanka were born Italian citizens because Sonia was Italian when she gave birth to them[Italian law based on jure sanguinis]. &lt;a name="19"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a style="font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 11px; font-style: normal; line-height: normal; font-weight: bold; font-variant: normal; text-transform: none; color: rgb(255, 51, 0); text-decoration: none;" href="http://www.janataparty.org/annexures/ann19p70.html"&gt;(see Annexure-19)&lt;/a&gt; Hence, they continue be Italians since they have never renounced their citizenship upon becoming 21 years old. Both, Rahul and Priyanaka have been traveling abroad on Italian passports. They may now acquire Venezuela passports too, since Rahul Gandhi’s wife, Veronica, is a Venezuelan. &lt;a style="font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 11px; font-style: normal; line-height: normal; font-weight: bold; font-variant: normal; text-transform: none; color: rgb(255, 51, 0); text-decoration: none;" href="http://www.janataparty.org/annexures/images/annexure20.jpg"&gt;(See annexure- 20)&lt;/a&gt; That means one more foreign bahu for us tolerant Indians. The Maino-Gandhis are certainly getting Indian society globalised in their own selfish way.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;To end Bharat Mata’s shame and pain, what can patriotic Indians do in a democracy?&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;As a first step there is an urgent need to document the facts about their citizenship on notarized paper, for which we need to set up a network in London, Milan, Hongkong, and in Venezuela. Those persuaded by my above stated facts and arguments may join in and help set up this network. Other steps can come later once this is accomplished.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/714857742949143906-2970293539252191900?l=indiannationalopinion.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://indiannationalopinion.blogspot.com/feeds/2970293539252191900/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://indiannationalopinion.blogspot.com/2010/02/antonia-maino-uff-sonia-gandhi-her.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/714857742949143906/posts/default/2970293539252191900'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/714857742949143906/posts/default/2970293539252191900'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://indiannationalopinion.blogspot.com/2010/02/antonia-maino-uff-sonia-gandhi-her.html' title='Antonia Maino uff Sonia Gandhi - Her history, background and rise to Power in India and her virtual dicatorship'/><author><name>Indian Nationalist</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15687454719063126461</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-714857742949143906.post-4059398836175552204</id><published>2010-02-06T09:16:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-02-06T09:18:05.152-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Congress'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='India'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Bharat'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='RSS'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Democracy'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='BJP'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Sonia Maino'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Sonia Gandhi'/><title type='text'>Sonia Maino, Nehru Dynasty and India</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);"&gt;I really have very few things which I hate in this world. Current Indian Congress party is one of them. The party who has outsourced its presidency to some Italian lady is really hurting India's interest. Some of you might be really angry with me for calling Sonia Maino like this but even after all these years I still think that she doesn’t consider herself as an Indian. I don’t have anything against Rahul and Priyanka Gandhi as they were born in India. But somehow Sonia Maino doesn’t strike a chord with my Indian heart. When she descended upon the Indian political scene in 1998, it might have been of a little good for warring congress lords but not for my mother India. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;         &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);"&gt;         &lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have problem with Sonia Maino and there are many reasons behind it. First and most important one, she refused to take Indian citizenship till Sanjay Gandhi was alive on Indian political scene. I don’t have any affection with Gandhi clan but it took our current Congress Party president and super prime minister more than 10 years to take citizenship of India. Secondly she took her pilot husband Rajiv Gandhi out of India at the time of 1971 war with Pakistan. Officially no Indian pilot is allowed to go abroad in case of war with other country as pilots are needed for doing various jobs in war time. Thirdly, one of her best friend the infamous arms dealer Ottavio Quattorochi looted Indian tax payer’s money in Bofors gun case. She is still protecting that criminal by using CBI as her personal service guards in front of all of us. The irritation list against her is so long that I will get a heart attack if I write it all here. Now we have her crowned prince Rahul Gandhi, who is being projected as savior of India by sycophant congress and its allied media. &lt;/p&gt;         &lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I would like to ask just one question what did Rahul do to have such privilege except being born to Rajiv and Sonia Maino? Rahul Gandhi is of approximately 40 years of age and still he is on the tour to discover India!!!! Or what did Rajiv Gandhi do to become prime minister of India except being son of Indira Gandhi? The whole country is being offered to gandhis on the plate. But anyways its their Karma and I don’t have much of the problem with that. I can just comment on my views although they may not be important for anyone. You can say why I am not in politics to change things? Well you might have guessed it right till now that I am not a Gandhi to have it all. I am not even related to any politician, I am just a common man in India and being common is worse thing in India to enter into politics.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;         &lt;p&gt;Who created this culture of sycophancy in India? Who created this culture where an outsider even though he is good will not get a chance to enter into politics while a particular family is getting it all even though its doing nothing?  Your guess is right again its this Nehru-Gandhi clan which promoted it and still ruling India as if they have some divine rights. They never promoted intra party democracy in this democratic India. So you can understand what they must be doing for our India for past 50 years of their rule.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;         &lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Believe me this Nehru-Gandhi clan isnt doing any favor to India by just being here. They see this as opportunity to preside over fortunes of a billion plus Indian. I have many problems with Jawaharlal Nehru. Some people believe that he was the architect of this modern India and India’s stability as democracy owes much to him but I don’t agree with this statement as at that time there were many big stalwarts in India who were better suited for the job, specially Sardar Vallabh Bhai Patel and after him Lal Bahadur Shashtri, Dr Rajendra Prasad and many others. What Nehru gave to India is what any one else would have given because others were not any less competent than him. In fact many of the burning problems in India today owes their origin entirely to Mr Nehru like Kashmir problem, the Tibetan issue, the north east militancy, border dispute with china, corrupt burocracy and non accountability of the public servants. I will just say little about all these problems and how Nehru was responsible for all this as every thing is available for everyone to read. &lt;/p&gt;         &lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First and foremost the Kashmir dispute, there were more than 560 princely states in India at the time of independence. Sardar Patel took up the responsibility to merge all of them except one into independent India. Your guess is right again the only state he wasn’t given responsibility was Jammu and Kashmir and you know why? Because Jawaharlal Nehru was a kashmiri pandit and he took that in his hand. As you all Indians are seeing it now he messed it all up in such a fashion that even after 60 years we are not able to solve it. Nehru thought of himself so highly that he was out of his mind and practicality on crucial issues. He thought of himself as leader of international stature who was more interested in solving world problems than taking care of his newly built burning home. Instead of allowing Indian army to finish its job in taking over whole J&amp;amp;K from Pakistani attack, he took advice of Mountbatten and took the matter to United Nations. United Nations declared cease fire in 1948 and now you have got J&amp;amp;K controlled by China, Pakistan and India. He didn’t learn his lesson and messed up in case of Tibet. China attacked and annexed Tibet in 1950, which made Dalai Lama to flee from there and take shelter in India. He happily declared that he doesn’t have any problem with this and signed treaty with communist china in the name of Panchsheel principle in 1954. He had socialism in his mind and completely failed to see expansionist design of China. China attacked and humiliated India in 1962, and what Nehru and his than defense minister were doing? They were busy in proclaiming that India doesn’t even need an army and started using military equipment manufacturing units to make tractors. China still claims Arunachal Pradesh as its own territory, its crushing unarmed Tibet monks with bullets, its controlling India’s Aksai Chin in J&amp;amp;K, it has Mansarover area under its control which was traditionally part and parcel of Indian ethos for millennia, it supports Pakistan with missiles and nukes to threaten India and what our great Congress leaders headed by Sonia Maino are doing? They are busy in saving their government which survives on oxygen from pro China traitor communist parties in India. I have no hesitation in saying that its Italian outsourcing of leadership by congress which is hurting India's Interests.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;         &lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nehru didn’t concentrate his development policies on North East India and we have militancy there which is basically arising out of resentment of local population because of non development. Nehru didn’t concentrate his mind on primary education for all Indians. That non availability of quality primary education for all citizens is root cause of many fundamental problems we face in India today. He some what succeeded in higher education by setting up IITs and IIMs even they were also not enough for such a big population. He didn’t change the corrupt burocracy and local administration set up by British to govern uncivilized India and what we got after independence was just replacement of Gora Sahibs by Brown Sahibs. The government which was Mai Baap before independence remained the same and instead of serving people, it made people serve it same as before independence. &lt;/p&gt;         &lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;People say that Indira and Rajiv Gandhi died for the country but I beg to differ as they died because they wanted to gain some political mileage by playing with people’s emotion. They died because of their own karma. I just praise Indira Gandhi for breaking up Pakistan in 1971 but who agreed on having Pakistan on both sides of India? It was her father and Mahatma Gandhi against the wishes of Sardar Patel agreed on communal division of India. Congress which ruled for almost 50 years out of 60 years of independent India has to take blame for all the mess in India today and their present actions doesn’t seem good enough to even think about that they have got a change in their mentality. They are still doing the same divide and rule policy which is one of the many British legacies they have picked up. Instead of justice for all they are again indulging in fanning caste and community differences by allocating budget resources on the basis of religions. I would just like to ask you all, is this party good enough to even stand for a fight in local panchayat election? &lt;/p&gt;         &lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Whatever good which still left in India is because the Government wasn’t aware of the actual situation like in Information technology otherwise you might be seeing Congress led government issuing dictates how much software a Infosys, Wipro or TCS can produce. Congress let India ruined and ignorant so that these Gandhis with their small handful sycophants can loot India for so long. Whosoever is saying that Sonia Maino has sacrificed anything for my motherland is doing a great mistake. Just think which thing is better: To rule over a billion plus population like an empress in modern times or to live a not so well known life in some small Italian Villa in Italy? I know Sonia Maino isnt that much of a fool to leave India and live in Italy, otherwise who will take care of the future of Prince Rahul Gandhi the prime minister in waiting? But that thing is only in the interest of the Nehru Gandhi family so what about rest of India? Rest of India has progressed despite so many hurdles and made its presence felt everywhere they have gone. I still wonder why it took a Dr Hargobinda Khurana , Dr Chandrashekhar or even a L N Mittal to leave India for winning Nobel Prize or creating the biggest steel industry on earth? The problem lies with the rulers who haven’t given ample opportunity to its citizen to do that progress from India. Why Indian migrant communities are so law abiding and successful everywhere else than India? Why a nation of over a billion people still havent been able to get a single Olympic gold medal in individual events? Why even after 60 years of independence people are dying out of hunger? Why after that so many villages don’t have electricity, hospital and clean drinking water? Why once world guru in learning havent been able to provide good primary education to its citizen? Why we still have corrupt officials ruling over the country? Why the honest and law abiding Indians always have to face problem while rich and crooked just get their ways? Why judiciaries take such a long time to declare verdicts? Why we don’t follow much of the traffic rules and see absence of accountability every where? There are many burning questions but most of the answers point their fingers at Congress party and its 50 years of rule on India. &lt;/p&gt;         &lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So what is the solution? Solution lies in realization of all young Indians to stand up against the injustice and create a society where every Indian can dream becoming a participant in shaping its destiny. All educated people should come out and vote rather than going on picnic on voting days. You get the government you deserve. We have to see beyond the obvious reasons of caste, creed, religion and community if we want our India to make progress. Congress with communist parties has fooled Indians for so long but now this is young India’s time to show how they can change things for better. I can smell the change.. and I hope that day is not that far when we will again have what we have lost… May god direct our intellect in right direction.&lt;/p&gt;         &lt;p&gt;Vande Mataram&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Saurav&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/714857742949143906-4059398836175552204?l=indiannationalopinion.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://indiannationalopinion.blogspot.com/feeds/4059398836175552204/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://indiannationalopinion.blogspot.com/2010/02/sonia-maino-nehru-dynasty-and-india.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/714857742949143906/posts/default/4059398836175552204'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/714857742949143906/posts/default/4059398836175552204'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://indiannationalopinion.blogspot.com/2010/02/sonia-maino-nehru-dynasty-and-india.html' title='Sonia Maino, Nehru Dynasty and India'/><author><name>Indian Nationalist</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15687454719063126461</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
