Describing Rahul Gandhi as a "man of mysteries", the BJP Tuesday questioned the Congress president over the Home Ministry's notice on his citizenship status asking which is real - "Rahul Gandhi London wale or Lutyens wale".

Attacking the Congress president, the BJP said the entire Rahul Gandhi's citizenship saga is a story of three Cs - citizenship, confusion and clarification.

The Home Ministry has served a notice to Rahul Gandhi, asking him to clarify within a fortnight his "factual position" on a complaint questioning his citizenship status.

In a letter, the Home Ministry said it has received a representation from BJP MP Subramanian Swamy in which it has been brought out that a company named Backops Limited was registered in the United Kingdom in 2003 with Rahul as one of its directors.

Addressing a press conference at the party office, BJP national spokesperson Sambit Patra said there are questions about Rahul Gandhi's citizenship and asserted that "if you create a confusion you have to clarify."
