Circulating copies of documents extracted purportedly from the company law authorities of Britain, he told a press conference here that Gandhi had declared himself as a British national in the documents related to a now-dissolved company.

This, he said in a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, is a violation of constitutional provisions and demanded that action be taken against Gandhi.

Swamy said he would write to Lok Sabha Speaker asking for either constitution of a special committee or refer the matter to the Ethics Committee for stripping him of his membership of the House.

The Congress, however, sought to dismiss Swamy's charges.

(Subramanian Swamy circulated a paper showing Rahul Gandhi as a British national.)

"From the day Rahul Gandhi was born, he has been an Indian national and always held an Indian passport," Congress leader RS Surjewala said.

For, a search through UK’s Companies House records reveals three versions: there are some records relating to Rahul Gandhi’s company, Backops Limited, where he is shown to be a British national; there are some other records of the same company that show him as an Indian national. And there is a third record where he is shown as British but a handwritten change has been made — the word “British” has been scratched out and replaced by “Indian”. -

Swamy’s case rests on two annual returns in which Gandhi’s nationality was described as “British”. The first return was filed on October 10, 2005 and the second annual return was filed on October 31, 2006. Both these documents identify Gandhi as a “British” national. In the first return, Gandhi’s address is given as 2 Frognal Way, London NW3 6XE, a plush London neighbourhood close to Hampstead. Then Gandhi filed another document changing his address to 51 Southgate Street, Winchester, Hampshire, SO23 9EH, which is also the address of his co-director McKnight.

In 2004, the company’s turnover was £65,380, showing a net profit of £6,034. In the year 2005, it had a turnover of £38,462 and a net profit of £8,066. In 2006, the company submitted abbreviated accounts because being a small company, it was allowed not to file detailed profit and loss statement. However, in the original Certificate of Incorporation, dated August 21, 2003, his nationality is shown as Indian. This document was electronically filed by Gandhi’s agent Damian Wardingly of Bourse Company Services, Bristol.
