Notice on Rahul's citizenship rubbish, ruling party's fear of losing may be behind it: Priyanka

Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra Tuesday termed "rubbish" the MHA notice to her brother and Congress president Rahul Gandhi on his citizenship status, and claimed the ruling party's "fear of losing" the Lok Sabha polls might have prompted this move.

"I have never heard such rubbish. All know Rahul Gandhi was born, raised here," she said.

"All kinds of misleading publicity are being undertaking. They are such liars that they say that Rahulji is not a Hindustani... you all know about my family... we don't need to give evidence. People are our proof," she said.

"The entire Hindustan knows that Rahul Gandhi is a Hindustani... he was born before them... he was brought up before them...he grew up before them...what rubbish is this?" Priyanka shot back when asked about the notice issued by the Ministry of Home Affairs.

Asked about the intention behind it, she said, "I have not heard anything like this, it seem that it is out of fear that they might be losing."
