Lok Sabha Speaker Sumitra Mahajan on Tuesday referred complaint on Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi’s British citizenship issue to the Ethics Committee of Parliament. The Speaker has acted on BJP MP Maheish Girri’s complaint based on party’s senior leader Subramanian Swamy’s expose of Rahul declaring himself a British citizen in a company floated by him in the UK.
“One MP had sent a complaint to me regarding this. Whenever an MP sends a complaint to the Speaker, it is referred to the committee as per rules. That particular complaint has been referred to the Ethics Committee,” Mahajan told PTI over phone when asked about the issue.
The Ethics Committee, consisting of 15 MPs from various parties, is headed by BJP’s veteran leader LK Advani.
