PRESS RELEASE

Dr.Subramanian Swamy, Janata Party President and former Union Cabinet Minister for Law &Justice, today submitted a Petition of 206 pages, seeking from the Prime Minister Dr.Manmohan Singh the required Sanction to prosecute Ms. Sonia Gandhi under Sections 11 & 13 of the Prevention of Corruption Act. Sanction is required under Section 19 of the Act because she is Chairperson of the National Advisory Council with Cabinet rank.

In his Petition to the PM, Dr.Swamy has made out a prima facie case on documentary circumstantial evidence that Ms.Gandhi abetted Italian businessman and close family friend Ottavio Quattrocchi to obtain an illegal commission in the Bofors Gun Purchase deal, and then influenced the government of Prime Minister Narasimha Rao to enable Mr. Quattrocchi to escape from the country in July 1993. Thereafter she directed the Union Law Minister in 2005 to enable Mr. Quattrocchi to get his London accounts de-frozen and decamp scot free with over $ 200 million [about Rs 1000 crores].

Dr.Swamy has also made out a prima facie case that Mr. Gandhi has illegally held in Swiss bank accounts illegal monies of about Rs. 10,000 crores received as a legatee in 1991 following Rajiv Gandhi’s assassination.

He also produced an admission on record of the spokesperson of the Russian government that KGB had provided funds to Ms. Gandhi and her family, as also evidence that she had received commissions on Indo-Soviet trade, which were illegal under Indian law.

In his Petition, Dr.Swamy has also catalogued a list of offences prima facie committed by Ms.Sonia Gandhi since 1974 which shows that she is an habitual offender who deserves to be prosecuted and punished.

Originally posted by rajnsharma Swamyjee is great. He always finds something or other to come in limelight. I actually doubt his credentials. Is it the way to distract everybody's attention from 2G case where big fishes are in net now......Swamyjee only can tell.

Nobody doubts his educational credentials and intellect. Question is more about the timing and issues like Sonia and Bofors.....

When a bigger issue like Lokpal Bill is gaining momentum....he should come and support them rather than raise the same issue which have been discussed debated and never concluded for decades. Also no ordinary citizen gains anything from these issues.....It just keeps emotions alive with real issues going on the backburner.

Regards,
Raj

I hope that happens, reverse is the one I am worried about. Already Amar Singh jee is up with his old his tantrums. Looks like he has a CD of every meeting
