Questions Regarding Citizenship Acquisition
Actress and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Member of Parliament Kangana Ranaut has publicly questioned the timeline of Congress leader Sonia Gandhi’s acquisition of Indian citizenship. In a series of social media posts, Ranaut highlighted that Sonia Gandhi married Rajiv Gandhi in 1968 but did not become an Indian citizen until 1983.
Ranaut stated in an Instagram post that Sonia Gandhi lived in the Prime Minister's residence and voted without citizenship for 15 years following her marriage. She noted that the citizenship was acquired in 1983, which was three years after the death of Sanjay Gandhi in 1980.
On November 10, Ranaut made allegations against Sonia Gandhi, questioning the political ascent of what she termed a "mysterious foreign national." She asked why Sonia Gandhi waited until after the death of Indira Gandhi’s political heir to obtain citizenship.
Allegations Linking Citizenship to Family Deaths
Ranaut claimed that her research for the upcoming film 'Emergency' revealed that Sonia Gandhi's arrival coincided with the deaths of Indira Gandhi, Sanjay Gandhi, and Rajiv Gandhi. She remarked that the series of events seemed to involve too many coincidences, suggesting a pattern rather than random chance.
Ranaut stated that while public discourse had focused on the NVIDIA honey trap controversy, her own research led to the conclusion that a "mysterious foreign national" entered the Gandhi family and soon after, Indira Gandhi, Sanjay Gandhi, and Rajiv Gandhi died. This sequence left only Sonia Gandhi as the choice for leadership.
According to Ranaut, this individual openly supported foreign agendas and shed tears for terrorists while leading the government until 2014. She accused Sonia Gandhi of ousting Maneka Gandhi after Sanjay's death for arbitrary reasons, noting that this occurred just before others were eliminated.
The Displacement of Maneka Gandhi
Ranaut described Maneka Gandhi as a vulnerable teenage girl who was thrown out of her house after Sanjay's death. In a social media update, she depicted Maneka remaining behind, looking at Mrs. Gandhi like a wounded child seeking comfort but receiving only coldness before disappearing.
Convenient Timing and Political Heir
Ranaut noted that everyone seemed under the spell of a mysterious foreign national who fortuitously met Rajiv Gandhi in a café abroad and became inseparable. She found it strange that Sonia Gandhi met Rajiv Gandhi by chance in such a setting, which led her into the Gandhi family.
She stated that Sanjay was being groomed by Mrs. Gandhi but died mysteriously, followed shortly by the deaths of his mother-in-law and husband. Ranaut reiterated that the deaths of Sanjay, Indira, and Rajiv Gandhi conveniently positioned Sonia Gandhi as the head of the government.
