Allahabad High Court Orders Rahul Gandhi Citizenship Inquiry

The India===Allahabad High Court has ordered the India===Uttar Pradesh Police to conduct an inquiry into allegations that Rahul Gandhi, the Leader of the Opposition in the India===Lok Sabha, holds dual citizenship. This directive came after a petition filed by BJP worker S. Vignesh Shishir, who challenged a lower court's decision to reject his plea for an FIR against Rahul Gandhi. The petitioner claims to possess documents, including emails from the British government, proving Rahul Gandhi's British citizenship, which would disqualify him from holding public office in India. The inquiry will proceed under various acts, including the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, the Official Secrets Act, the Foreigners Act, and the Passport Act. This development could have significant implications for Rahul Gandhi's political career and the broader political landscape in India.
