SONIA AND SONIA CONGRESS ASSAULT ON FREEDOM OF SPEECH AND THOUGHT

V.SUNDARAM I.A.S.

                                                                        (Spanish Edition) (Paperback)

Sonia Congress party seems to be under the deluded notion that it can function as an international intellectual terrorist censorship organization. After objecting to certain parts of Prakash Jha’s movie Raajneeti, this disgraceful political party---in actual operation, SERVANTS OF SONIA SOCIETY---- is now up in arms against Madrid-based writer Javier Moro’s novel titled El sari rojo/ The red sari (Seix Barral Biblioteca Breve) (Spanish Edition) based on its president Sonia Gandhi’s life.



RAJIV GANDHI AND SONIA IN HER RED WEDDING SARI

 
This Spanish book The Red Sari is subtitled When Life is the Price of Power. It is a reference to the red sari Sonia wore on her wedding day, "one that Nehru wove while he was in jail". This was first published in October 2008, and it has already been translated into Italian, French and Dutch, and an English translation by Peter Hearn is ready for publication. It has been reported that already more than 2,30,000 copies have already been sold in Spain, Italy and Latin America.

ITALIAN VERSION OF THE BOOK

In an email, freely available on the internet Javier Moro, the author of this book has said that Sonia's lawyers, including Congress spokesperson Abhishek Singhvi, "have just written to my Italian and Spanish publishers to demand the withdrawal of the book from the stores. Nobody understands very well why, but that's what they are up to". Moro is of the view that the Congress leaders "did not like the recreation of her life in Italy as told in my book".

Abhishek Singhvi, the Sonia Congress spokesman, who is handling the legal matter for Sonia has affirmed that Sonia is aware of the issue. He has said: "It is time Moro stopped distorting facts and misrepresenting details. He knows well that both he and his publishers have been sent legal notices informing them that the published work is completely unauthorised, defamatory and salacious."


When it was pointed out to Abhishek Singhvi that the book is a novel, not a biography, Singhvi has stated, "There is no question of fictionalising a living person."

This is how Moro dramatizes the final funeral rites that were performed in Delhi for Rajiv Gandhi in 1991:"Now it is time to say goodbye, Sonia places an offering on the body over the heart. It is made of camphor, cardamom, cloves and sugar and it's supposed to help remove the imperfections of the soul.... Through the television cameras, the world discovers this stoic woman who reminds everyone of Jacqueline Kennedy twenty-eight years before in Arlington."

It has been reported that Moro has said: "Sonia's legal counsel even objected to a part in the book wherein I have said that Sonia wonders, after Rajiv's assassination, as to whether she should return to Italy on her mother's advice. I think they would like to believe that Sonia had been thoroughly Indianised by then and would not even consider going back to Italy." Moro also seems to have added with sardonic humour: "THEY WOULD MUCH PREFER THAT SHE HAD BEEN BORN IN DELHI -- AND FROM A BRAHMIN FAMILY, IF POSSIBLE."

Moro has also claimed that before the publication of the novel, the manuscript had been sent to Sonia through her sister Nadia, who knows Spanish. "There was no response then," he has said.


The novel mentions Christian von Stieglitz as "the friend who introduced her to Rajiv when they were students", describes Congressmen persuading a reluctant Sonia to accept the presidency of the party in 1998, and then, in flashback, goes to the "village of Lusiana in the Asiago mountains in the foothills of the Alps". There, "in accordance with tradition the neighbours tied pink ribbons to the bars on the windows and doors" when Sonia was born in December 1946, a post-war child. Writes Moro, "A few days later, she was christened by the Lusiana parish priest and given the name of EDVIGE ANTONIA ALBINA MAINO." But her father Stefano called her Sonia. "In this way, he kept the promise he made to himself after getting away from the Russian front with his life."

According to Moro's book, Stefano was part of Mussolini's army that was defeated by the Russians. "There were thousands of prisoners, among them Stefano, who managed to escape together with other survivors. They succeeded in taking shelter in a farmhouse on the Russian steppes, where they lived for weeks under the protection of a peasant family.... As a tribute to the family that had saved his life, he decided to given his daughters Russian names."

Moro's book describes Sonia as going to a convent school in Giaveno where "she only studied enough to keep out of trouble, but she was always smiling and helpful, played peacemaker between squabbling friends, learnt to ski and developed a love for reading. He says she was the only boarder who slept alone because of her asthma and coughing fits. Later, while studying in Turin, the idea of becoming an Alitalia stewardess, of earning a living while travelling round the world, began to seduce her". But that dream "gradually changed into becoming a foreign language teacher or, even better, an interpreter in some international organisation such as the United Nations".

Moro then has made a statement of timeless historic significance: “Her dog was called STALIN.”

Moro has stated: ‘I HAVE TRAVELLED TO LUSIANA VILLAGE AND ORBASSANO, WHERE THE MAINOS LATER MOVED, WHERE ANY NEIGHBOUR WOULD TELL YOU THESE STORIES. I HAVE NOT WRITTEN ANYTHING ILLEGAL. AND IN THIS DAY AND AGE, YOU CANNOT SUPPRESS A BOOK. THE CONGRESS THINKS IT CAN DO TO THE REST OF THE WORLD WHAT IT DOES TO A LOCAL HACK. IT IS ACTUALLY GIVING ME FREE PUBLICITY".

UNSEDUCED, UNSHAKEN, UNMOVED AND UNYIELDING JAVIER MORO IN THE FACE OF SAVAGE SONIA CONGRESS ATTACK

I fully endorse the view of the very eminent journalist M.J.AKBAR: "there are only three reasons by which you can prevent something from being published - if it's libelous, injurious to India's defence interests or is pornographic". Moro’s Red Sari cannot be attacked on any one of these logical grounds!!

Meanwhile, it is also in the news that Roli Books in New Delhi, is holding talks with Moro and his Barcelona-based publishers Seix Barral for bringing out the English translation of El Sari Rojo in India. It is heartening to see that Pramod Kapoor of Roli Books has boldly declared: "We will be publishing the book but it is too early to say when."

I can clearly see that Pramod Kapoor of Roli Books cannot be bullied into meek submission by the legal cell of the Sonia Congress Party headed by Abhishek Singhvi. Asked if he would be inviting a legal notice for defamation, Pramod Kapoor has said, "It is something Mr Singhvi the lawyer can comment on." Javier Moro, the author of ‘Red Sari’ has however said that he is absolutely sure "that an Indian publisher would be served a legal notice. And when that happens we would know the strength of Indian democracy."

It ought to be a matter of shame for all self respecting Indians with a backbone (Unlike Sonia Congress invertebrates!) that we have to have a journalist from Spain to comment on the non-existent fictitious strength of our soul-less sham democracy.

The Indian National Congress today has degenerated into what I call the SOSS, the Servants of Sonia Society. No one should mistake this for the Servants of India Society (SOIS) established in 1905 by Gopala Krishna Gokhale (1866-1915), the political guru of Mahatma Gandhi, who said: “My aim in establishing the Servants of India Society is to spiritualize India’s public life”. All of us know from our daily newspapers and TV channels (all of which are in the bonded labour of SOSS) how the Sonia Congress under the exalted and elevating leadership of Sonia Gandhi has inaugurated a new era of radiant political culture with the sole aim of spiritualizing India’s public life!!

How Sonia Gandhi and her political tenents-at-will like Abhishek Singhvi have elevated, ennobled and spiritualized India's public life in the capital city of New Delhi can be seen from the following picture showing the face of Javier Moro blacked out by the goons of the Sonia Congress Party. The Sonia Congressmen are behaving like the Taliban terrorists in Afghanistan who demolished the Buddha Statues at Bamian.

  SHINING SYMBOL OF SONIA CONGRESS TALIBAN CULTURE
When I see the so-called senior leaders of the Sonia Congress party today CREEPING and CRAWLING before Sonia Gandhi just to invite her casual eye-line attention, my mind goes back to the Poorna Swaraj Session of the Indian National Congress at Lahore in December 1929. In that Session Jawaharlal Nehru became the youngest Congress president in it's history. Jawaharlal Nehru declared at that Session: “Success often comes to those who dare and act regardless of the consequences. It seldom goes to the timid”. In the Sonia Congress party today, the daily message of the firangi Memsahib to all her minions including her Prime Minion is this: 'Success often comes to those who creep and crawl regardless of the consequences. It seldom goes to the brave and spirited'. In the glorious days of the Indian National Congress, Mahatma Gandhi was the supreme leader. Mahatma Gandhi, fully backed by his Congress party, was endeavoring to throw out the FOREIGNERS. Today we have an IMFL (Indian Made Foreign Leader) who is fully supported by the ever-servile Sonia Congress party, and Abhishek Singhvi is the authorized bugle-boy of that slavish outfit..

Even before the English version of Javier Moro’s biography of Sonia Gandhi, Red Saree, has been released in India, the Sonia Congress is demanding that it be banned. As I have already observed, Javier Moro’s book is already a best-seller in Spanish and Italian.
In an email interview with Mint, Moro has spoken about how he researched the book, traced Gandhi’s friends and relatives, and what he left out from it and why. He has stated: “Many things. I did not want to include any hard criticism against Rajiv Gandhi or Indira Gandhi, because I wanted the story to be told through the point of view of Sonia Gandhi, and she viewed them as family. I did not include a violent post-war episode involving her father, as I did not fully trust the sources. I barely mentioned Bofors and Quattrochi because I am totally convinced the Gandhi’s are honest.” From this answer we can get to know the standards of his decency and integrity!!!

When Moro was recently asked as to when his book going to be released in India, he replied without any hesitation: “WHEN SONIA GANDHI’S LAWYERS STOP TERRORIZING INDIAN PUBLISHERS NOT TO PUBLISH IT.”

I can very well remember how Abhishek Singhvi, Jayanthi Natarajan and many Congress supporters spoke volumes about freedom of expression in encouraging and defending Mohammad Hussein's vulgar pornographic nude paintings of Hindu Gods and Goddesses. These great worthies considered M.F.Hussain’s Paintings of Naked Mother India, Naked Lakshmi and Spread-Eagled Durga With Someone Emerging From Her Vagina as great examples of his artistic freedom. Now one of these sycophantic minions (though not as important as our PRIME MINION!) has issued a legal notice to Javier Moron who has only attempted to bring out the truth of Sonia's early escort-girl days! We can see their hypocritical double standards! One liberal standard for that Muslim anti-Hindu painter (in fact Marauder!) called M.F.Hussain! Another standard for Javier Moron!! For the mean and vicious men and women in the Sonia Congress Party, Hindu Gods and Goddesses are nothing as compared with their super Goddess Sonia Gandhi!!!

The legal cell of Sonia Congress Party has told Javier Moro that he is indulging in "gross prevarication and distortion". The legal cell has also written to him in no uncertain terms that “his book is full of untruths, half truths, falsehoods, defamatory statements, completely imaginary and invented conversations within quotation marks and narration of non-existent situations." For instance, it has been pointed out that Moro's claim that Hindu priests "refused to allow Sonia Gandhi to be present at (Rajiv Gandhi's) cremation was entirely erroneous".

Justice Brandeis (1856-1941), one of the greatest of American Judges and Makers of American Law, declared in one of his famous judgments: “The real test of freedom of speech is readiness to allow it to men whose opinions seem to you wrong and even dangerous”.

I am supremely aware of the fact that addressing this message to great jurists of global fame like Abhishek Singhvi in the Sonia Congress Party is a hopeless taskit is like throwing rose-flower petals into the Grand Canyon and waiting for the echo!

It is understood that Abhishek Singhvi has given a rejoinder to Javier Moro to the effect that: “without any proof, knowledge and data, you have decided to take refuge in the idea of a so-called `fictionalised' biography. A `fictionalised biography' about a living person is an oxymoron.”

The public joke that is most popular in the social circles of all major cities of India today is that perhaps the legal bugle-boy luminary Abhishek Singhvi, when he referred to an oxymoron in his communication to author Moro, seems to have lost sight of the most important oxymorons at home like,


Patriotic Sonia,
Honest Manmohan and
Courageous Congressmen.

If as an unsurpassed and unmatched legal luminary, he would only gracefully condescend to give me a hearing, I would like to invite his kind attention to the following Table of some Formidable Oxymorons to enable him to suitably guide me (against the background of Sonia Congress Culture to boot!) as to how I can improve upon the description of the categories of VIP oxymorons which I have listed above. I have given only six solid examples below

Table of some Formidable Oxymorons (in a loose sense of the word)

deafening silence (Dr ManMohan Singh!)

open secret (Spectrum Raja!)
clearly confused (Chidambaram!)
found missing (Azhagiri!)
liquid gas (Jayaram Ramesh!)
unbiased opinion (Jayanthi Natarajan!)


The following oxymorons can be used as free size socks for the other Sonia Congress Union Ministers, Sonia Congress Members of Parliament and Sonia Congressmen in general!!


living dead
exact estimate
constant variable
Hell's Angels
Advanced BASIC
alone together
almost exactly
tragic comedy
freezer burn
pretty ugly


May the vibrant tribe of Javier Moro’s Oxymorons increase and grow from more to more!!

Talking to a news agency at Madrid in Spain yesterday (6-6-2010), Moro has affirmed that Abhishek Manu Singhvi is terrorising the publishers. He has said that he does not know as to how Singhvi or others have got their hands on the English manuscript version when the book has not yet made its appearance in the market in India. Moro has alleged that Abhishek Singhvi has got hold of the English version (of the book) in an illicit manner, and that he is planning to sue Abhishek Singhvi. Moro has also said: "Though I have said that the lawyer Abhishek Singhvi is terrorising the publishers yet that does not mean that the Congress Party is censoring me. It has nothing to do with the Congress Party itself".
(http://www.mynews.in/News/Moro_to_sue_Singhvi_over_Sonia_book__
N60187.html)



In the light of what Moro has stated above, the following questions have to be answered in the larger public interest. Does Abhishek Singhvi represent the Sonia Congress Party or Sonia Gandhi at all? Does he represent only Sonia Gandhi minus Her Congress Party? Whose spokesperson is Abhishek Singhvi?

Though I do not know Spanish, I had requested one of my friends who has taken a post graduate degree in Spanish from one of the Indian Universities, to read out to me the important operative portions of Javier Moro’s book on Sonia Gandhi. From what I can see and understand, the author has written a very tepid and lame story. I am unable to understand what provoked the legal cell of Sonia Congress Party to issue a legal notice to the author of this book.

INTRODUCTION
Patriotic Indians should thank the President of India for having the courage, by citing a legal hitch, to dissuade Ms. Sonia Gandhi from staking her claim to form the government on May 17th this year. She therefore, despite all the contrived media hype, did not, and could not, become the Prime Minister of 1 billion plus people of India. It can now be said that Bharat Mata has been saved from a monumental, devastating, and permanent injury to her national interest and to the patriotic psyche of Indians.

Therefore, it should be the resolve of every Indian to make any and every effort that can be made in a democracy, to ensure that Ms. Sonia Gandhi is kept permanently out of reckoning for any public office. For those who instinctively understand that imperative, this Note has been written to explain the factual basis for this rational determination, and suggest what patriotic Indians can do now to implement that democratic and patriotic resolution.

My opposition to Ms. Sonia Gandhi is not merely because she is Italian - born, although that by itself is a major issue. In other democratic countries, including in Italy, such an issue [of foreign-born aspiring to be head of government] would not even arise at all because the issue has already been settled by incorporating into law that a person cannot hold the highest public office unless he or she is native born.

In India there is no such law but the President, according my knowledge, has correctly acted on a proviso to Section 5 of the Indian Citizenship Act[1955] which requires the Union Home Ministry to lay down conditions to Indian citizenship acquired by foreigners by registration, condition based on the principle of reciprocity [see annexure 1 & 2]. In Ms Gandhi’s case, such of those conditions that apply to Indians on becoming citizens of Italy, would apply to her.

(Annexure 1: Section 5 of the Indian Citizenship Act with the proviso emphasizing reciprocity and letters to Shri L.K.Advani from Dr.Subramanian Swamy on this subject.)

(Annexure 2: A note by P.A.Sangma, Member Constitution Review Commission on Limiting Access to High Constitutional Positions to Natural Born Citizens of India: Constitutional Amendment.)

The President reportedly had communicated to Ms. Gandhi on the afternoon of May 17, 2004, that if she insisted on being invited to form the government, he would want first to clarify, on a reference to the Supreme Court, whether in view of this proviso her appointment as PM could be successfully challenged in the court.

It is fair to assume that this report of the President’s decision is correct, since the President had before him my petition dated May 15, 2004 [see Annexure-3] making just that point--- that Ms. Gandhi’s citizenship is conditional, and in particular she cannot be the PM legally.

(Annexure 3: Dr.Subramanian Swamy’s Petition to President of India dt. May 15, 2004.)

The President had also given me an appointment at 12.45 PM on May 17, 2004 to explain my submissions in person, which I did. I also told him that I would challenge such a unconstitutional appointment in the Supreme Court just as I had in 2001 when Ms Jayalalitha was illegally sworn in as Chief Minister by the Tamil Nadu Governor.

In that case, the Supreme Court had after hearing me and many other constitutional luminaries, upheld my contention that mere majority in the House is insufficient for being sworn in to a constitutional office, and that the constitutional appointing authority must ensure that there are no disqualifications as well. Ms. Jayalalitha had therefore to step down because she had been disqualified by her conviction in a trial court in the TANSI corruption case [filed by me as a private complaint]. She was subsequently acquitted by the Madras High Court, and hence became eligible the following year.

I also cited to the President a 1962 Allahabad High Court case which held that this proviso in the Citizenship Act was binding and lawful.
The nation by the stalling of Sonia becoming Prime Minister of India, has thus got an unexpected but temporary reprieve, a reprieve received not only because her citizenship of India by registration is not equal to one by birth even by Indian law, but a reprieve more because of the national security risk that was averted.

To comprehend that risk, we must however first understand who Sonia Gandhi really is and what kind of danger she, her family and her friends in Italy, hold for India’s national security. Very little is known about the Mainos’ murky past, and the little that we are told about Sonia are lies. In other words, Indians do not know who Sonia really is or what she represents [see Annexure-4].

(Annexure 4: Cover story “In Maino Country” in Frontline dt. April-May, 1998 and an article in Rediff.com titled “From waitress to world leader” dt. May 17, 2004.)

Even for an Indian born citizen, we find it difficult to know a person’s true background, but for a foreign-born it is extremely hard because of the remoteness of the place and the language barrier for most people, in this case---Italian.

This note is thus an aide d’memoir of certain verifiable facts that taken together constitute the danger that Sonia Gandhi represents for the nation. And that is the real Sonia and what she represents.


THREE LIES


Ms. Sonia Gandhi’s background as publicized by her and her Congress Party is based on three lies in order to hide the ugly reality of her life.
First, her real name is Antonia not Sonia. This was revealed by the Italian Ambassador in New Delhi in a letter dated April 27, 1983 [see Annexure-5] to the Union Home Ministry which letter has not been made public. Antonia is Sonia’s real name as stated in her birth certificate.

(Annexure 5: Certificate No.1918 from Ambassador of Italy in India regarding Sonia’s renunciation of citizenship.)

Sonia is the name given to her subsequently by her father, Stefano Maino [now deceased]. He had been a prisoner of war in Russia during World War II. Stefano had joined the Nazi army as a volunteer, as many Italian fascists had done. Sonia is a Russian not Italian name. While spending two years in a Russian jail, Sonia’s father had become quite pro-Soviet, especially after the liberating US army in Italy had confiscated all fascists’ properties including his.

Second, Sonia was not born in Orbassano as she claims in her bio data submitted to Parliament on becoming MP, but in Luciana as stated in her birth certificate. She perhaps would like to hide the place of her birth because of her father’s connection with the Nazis and Mussolini’s Fascists, and her family’s continuing connections with the Nazi-Fascists underground that is still surviving in Italy since the end of the War. Luciana is where Nazi-Fascist network is headquartered, and is on the Italian-Swiss border. There can be no other explanation for this otherwise meaningless lie.

Third, Sonia Gandhi has not studied beyond High School. But she has falsely claimed in her sworn affidavit [see Annexure-6] filed as a contesting candidate before the Rae Bareli Returning Officer in the 2004 Lok Sabha elections, that she qualified and got a diploma in English from the prestigious University of Cambridge, UK.
(Annexure 6: Sonia Gandhi’s sworn affidavit before the Rae Barelly Returning Officer in 2004 Lok Sabha elections indicating her educational Qualification etc.)

Earlier, in 1999 in her biographical data given under her signature to the Lok Sabha Secretariat and which was published in Parliament’s Who’s Who, she had made the same false claim [see Annexure-7].
(Annexure 7: Sonia Gandhi’s bio data to Lok Sabha Secretariat.)
But later she wrote to the Lok Sabha Speaker, after I had pointed it out to him in a written complaint of a Breach of Ethics of the Lok Sabha, that it was a “typing mistake”. THIS QUALIFIES HER FOR INCLUSION THUS IN THE GUINNESS BOOK OF WORLD RECORDS AS THE LONGEST TYPING MISTAKE IN HISTORY.

The truth is that Ms. Gandhi has never studied in any college anywhere. She did go to a Catholic nun--run seminary school called Maria Ausiliatrice in Giaveno [15 kms from her adopted home town of Orbassabo]. Poverty those days had forced young Italian girls to go to such missionaries and then in their teens go to UK to get jobs as cleaning maids, waitresses and au pair. The Mainos were poor those days. Sonia’s father was a mason and mother a share cropper [now the family is worth at least $ 2 billion: (see Annexure-10)].

(Annexure 10 : Extracts from magazine Schweizer Illustrierte of Nov. 11, 1991, issue regarding Rajiv Gandhi’s numbered Swiss bank a/c amounting to 2 billion dollars.)

Sonia thus went to the town of Cambridge UK and first learnt some English in a teaching shop called Lennox School [which has since 1990 been wound up]. That is her “education”--- ENOUGH ENGLISH LANGUAGE TO GET DOMESTIC HELP JOBS.

But since in Indian society, education is socially highly valued, thus to fool the Indian public, Sonia Gandhi wilfully lied about her qualifications in Parliamentary records [which is a Breach of Ethics Rules] and in a sworn affidavit [which is criminal offence under IPC, severe enough to disqualify her from being MP]. This also violated the spirit of the Supreme Court judgment requiring candidates to reveal their educational qualification on an affidavit [see Annexure-8].

(Annexure 8 : An Article from Frontline regarding Supreme Courts direction to Election Commission to make information on candidates background wealth and education available to voters.)
These three lies indicate that Ms. Sonia Gandhi has something to hide, or has a hidden agenda for India to brazenly fool Indians for some ulterior purpose. We therefore need to find out more about her.


SONIA'S INTRODUCTION INTO INDIA


Ms. Sonia Gandhi upon learning enough English, became a waitress in Varsity Restaurant in Cambridge town. She first met Rajiv when he came to the restaurant in 1965. Rajiv was a student in the University, but could not cope with the academic rigour for long. So he had to depart in 1966 for London where he was briefly in Imperial College of Engineering as a student. Sonia too moved to London, and according my information, got a job with an outfit run by Salman Thassir, a debonair Pakistani based in Lahore, and who has a export-import company headquartered in Dubai but who spends most of his time in London. This fits the profile of a ISI functionary.

Obviously, Sonia made enough money in this job to loan Rajiv funds in London, who was living beyond his allowances [Indira herself had expressed anguish to me on this score in late 1965 when I was a young Harvard professor of economics. She had invited me to a private tea at the Guest House in Brandeis University where she was staying].
Rajiv’s letters to Sanjay filed in Delhi High Court by P.N. Lekhi [see Annexure-9] clearly indicate that he was in financial debt to Sonia because he requested Sanjay also in UK then, and who obviously had more access to money, to pay off the debt.

(Annexure 9: P.N. Lekhi’s case in Delhi High Court regarding Rajiv Gandhi’s financial debt to Sonia.)

However, Rajiv was not the only friend Sonia was seeing those days. Madhavrao Scindia and a German by name Stiegler are worth mentioning as other good friends of Sonia. Madhavrao’s friendship continued even after Sonia’s marriage to Rajiv. Scindia in 1982 was involved in a traffic accident near IIT, Delhi main gate while driving a car at 2 AM. Sonia was the only other passenger. Both were badly injured. A student of IIT who was burning midnight oil was out for a cup of coffee. He picked them up from the car, hailed an auto rickshaw and sent an injured Sonia to Mrs Indira Gandhi’s house since she insisted in not going to a hospital. Madhavrao had broken a leg and in too much pain to make any demand. He was taken to hospital by the Delhi Police who had arrived a little after Sonia had left the scene.

In later years, Madhavrao had become privately critical of Sonia, and told some close friends about his apprehensions about her. It is a pity that he died in mysterious circumstances in an as yet uninvestigated aircrash of his private plane in the year 2001. Mani Shankar Aiyar and Shiela Dikshit were to be on that flight too, but were asked to stay behind at the last moment.
The circumstance under which Rajiv hastily married Sonia in a Church in Orbassano is controversial, but that was his personal matter which has no public significance. What however is of public significance is that Indira Gandhi who was initially dead set against the marriage for reasons known to her, relented to hold a registry marriage with Hindu ceremonial trappings in New Delhi only after the pro-Soviet T.N. Kaul prevailed upon her to accept the marriage in “THE LARGER INTEREST OF CEMENTING INDO-SOVIET FRIENDSHIP”. Kaul would not have intervened unless the Soviet Union had not asked him to.


SONIA'S KGB CONNECTION

Such has been the patronage from the beginning extended to Sonia Gandhi and her Italian family from the Soviets. When a Prime Minister of India’s son dates a girl in London, the KGB which valued Indo-Soviet relations, would naturally investigate her. They had, and found out that she was the daughter of Stefano, their old reliable Italian contact. Thus, Sonia married to Rajiv, meant deep access for the Soviets, into the household of the Indian Prime Minister. Hence cementing the Rajiv-Sonia relations was in the Soviet national interest and they went to work on it. And they did, through their moles in the Indira Gandhi camp.

After her marriage to Rajiv, the Soviet connection with the Mainos was fortified and nurtured by generous financial help through commissions and kick-backs on every Indo—Soviet trade deal and defence purchases. According to the respected Swiss magazine, Schweitzer Illustrate [November 1991 issue; see Annexure-10] Rajiv Gandhi had about $2 billion in numbered Swiss bank accounts—which Sonia inherited upon his assassination.

Dr. Yevgenia Albats, Ph.D[Harvard], is a noted Russian scholar and journalist, and was a member of the KGB Commission set up by President Yeltsin in August 1991. She was privy to the Soviet intelligence files that documented these deals and KGB facilitation of the same. In her book—“The State Within a State: The KGB in the Soviet Union”, she even gives the reference numbers of such intelligence files [see Annexure-11] which can now be accessed by any Indian government through a formal request to the Kremlin.

(Annexure 11: Dr.Subramanian Swamy’s letter to Director, CBI dt. May 23, 2003 containing references to Intelligence Files relating to receipt of funds from KGB as quoted in Ms.Yevgenia Albats’s book “The State Within a State: The KGB”.)

The Russian Government in 1992 was confronted with the Albats’ disclosure by the media. The official spokesperson of the government confirmed the veracity of the disclosure [which was published in Hindu in 1992; see Annexure-12]. The spokesperson defended such financial payments as necessary in “Soviet ideological interest”. Part of the funds were used by the Maino family to fund loyal Congress party candidates in the General Elections [see Annexure-13].
(Annexure 12: News Clipping from Times of India 27.6.92 and Hindu dt. July 4, 92 regarding receipt of payment by Rajiv Gandhi & family from KGB.)


(Annexure 13: An unofficial translation of V.Chebrikov, KGB Chief’s,letter to the Central Committee of Communist Party of Soviet Union regarding payment to Rajiv Gandhi’s family.)

When the Soviet Union disintegrated in 1991, things changed for Ms. Sonia Gandhi. Her patron nation had been disbanded into 16 countries. The rump that became Russia was in a financial mess and disorder. So, Ms. Sonia Gandhi switched and became a supporter of another communist country much to the annoyance of the Russians.

The national security ramification of this ‘annoyance’ is now significant: The President of Russia today is Putin, a former dyed-in-the-wool KGB officer. Upon Dr. Manmohan Singh’s government taking office, Russia called back it’s career diplomat Ambassador in New Delhi and immediately posted in his place, as the new Ambassador, a person who was the KGB station chief in New Delhi during the 1970s.

In view of Dr. Albats revelation, it stands to reason that the new Ambassador would have known first hand about Sonia’s connections with the KGB. He may have in fact been her “controller” and local contact. The new Indian government today which is defacto Sonia’s, cannot afford to annoy him or even disregard Russian demands that come from him. The Sonia coterie will obviously seek to placate him so as not to risk exposure. Is this not a major national security risk for India and a delicate matter for the nation’s sovereignty?

Of course, all Indians would like good normal and healthy relations with Russia. Who can forget their assistance to us in times of need? Today’s Russia is the residual legatee of that Soviet Union which helped India. But just because of that, should we tolerate those in our government set up having clandestine links with a foreign spy agency? In the United States, the government did not tolerate an American spying for Israel even though the two countries are as close as any two countries can be. National security and friendship are as different as chalk and cheese.

In December 2001, I had filed a Writ Petition in the Delhi High Court with the photocopies of the KGB documents, and sought a CBI investigation which the Vajpayee Government was stoutly refusing. Earlier, Minister of State for CBI, Vasundara Raje [now Rajasthan CM], on my letter dated March 3, 2001, had ordered the CBI to investigate. But after Sonia Gandhi and her party stalled the proceedings of Parliament on this issue, the then Prime Minister Vajpayee overruled and cancelled Vasundara’s direction to the CBI.

The Delhi High Court in May 2002 issued a direction to the CBI to ascertain from Russia the truth of my charges. The CBI procrastinated for two years, and finally told the Court that without an FIR registered, the Russians will not entertain any such query. But who stopped the CBI from registering an FIR? The Vajpayee government! And why? Thereby hangs another tale.

The next hearing of the case is imminent. But now Sonia is in the driver’s seat, and the CBI has been reduced in independence even further.


SONIA'S CONTEMPT FOR LAWS OF INDIA


After Sonia married Rajiv, she and her Italian family aided by friend and Snam Progetti’s New Delhi resident Ottavio Quattrocchi, went about minting money with scant regard for Indian laws and treasures. Within a few years the Mainos rose from utter poverty to become billionaires [see Annexure-14].



(Annexure 14: Pioneer article on Ottavio Quattrocchi’s money laundering (Sonia’s close friend) dt. 21.12.2000.)

There was no area that was left out for the rip-off. On November 19, 1974, as fresh entrant to Parliament, I had asked the then Prime Minister Ms. Indira Gandhi on the floor of the House if her daughter-in-law, Sonia Gandhi, was acting as an insurance agent of a public sector insurance company [Oriental Fire&Insurance], giving the Prime Minister’s official residence as her business address, and using undue influence to get insured the officers of the PMO, while remaining as an Italian citizen [thus violating FERA]. (Today she is in a position to make or break Prime Ministers, abrogate the Constitution, sell Indian assets to China, destroy our temples and organize Hindu genocide wherever and whenever necessary.) There was an uproar in Parliament, but Mrs. Indira Gandhi had no alternative but to cut her losses. She made a rare admission in a written reply a few days later that it indeed was so, and that it was by mistake, but that Sonia had resigned from her insurance agency [after my question]. But Sonia was incorrigible. Her contempt for Indian law continued to manifest.

The Supreme Court Justice A.C. Gupta Commission set up by the Janata Party government in 1977 came out with a voluminous report on the Maruti Company then owned by the Gandhi family, and has listed eight violations of FERA, Companies Act, and Foreigners Registration Act by Sonia Gandhi. She was never prosecuted, but can still be prosecuted because under Indian law, economic crimes are not subject to the statute of limitation.

In January 1980, Indira Gandhi returned as Prime Minister. The first thing Sonia did was to enroll herself as a voter. This was a gross violation of the law, enough to cause cancellation of her visa [since she was admittedly an Italian citizen then]. There was some hullabaloo in the press about it, so the Delhi Chief Electoral Officer got her name deleted in 1982. But in January 1983, she again enrolled herself as a voter even while as a foreigner [she first applied for citizenship in April 1983] (see Annexure-15).

(Annexure 15: A photocopy of the extract from electoral rolls of 1980, indicating that Ms.Sonia was a voter, when she had not yet acquired the citizenship of Bharat.)


More recently, A.G. Noorani is his book: Citizen’s Rights, Judges, and State Accountability records [page 318] that Ms. Sonia Gandhi had made available to a foreign national the secret papers of Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru obviously illegally in her possession, and comments as follows:


“Sonia Gandhi has no right to hold them in her possession at all, let alone decide whom to accord permission for access to them”

Such is her revealed disdain for Indian laws and that is her mindset even today. She suffers from a neo-imperialist mentality.

SONIA GANDHI IS THE MODERN ROBERT CLIVE

The bottom line observed in Sonia’s mindset is that she can disregard Indian laws with impunity. If cornered or if she becomes vulnerable to prosecution, she can always run back to Italy. In Peru, President Fujimori who all along claimed to be “born Peruvian”, when faced with a corruption charge fled to Japan with his loot and reclaimed his Japanese citizenship. That is Sonia’s bottom line fall-back option too.

In 1977, when the Janata Party defeated the Congress at the polls, and formed the government, it widely known and published that Sonia with her two children abandoned Indira Gandhi, and ran to the Italian Embassy in New Delhi and hid there. Rajiv Gandhi was a government servant then [as an Indian Airlines pilot], but he too tagged along and hid in that foreign embassy! Such was her baneful influence on him. Rajiv did snap out Sonia’s influence after 1989, but alas he was assassinated before he could rectify the situation.

Those close to Rajiv knew that he was planning set things right about Sonia after the 1991 elections. He held her to blame for all the financial scandals that led to his defeat at the 1989 polls. She knew of it too because he had told her on his trip to Soviet Union in February 1991. Ever wonder why Sonia’s closest advisers are those whom Rajiv literally hated? Ambika Soni is one such name. Ever wonder why she has asked the President of India to set aside on a mercy petition the Supreme Court judgment directing that Rajiv Gandhi’s LTTE killers be hanged, when she was not similiarly moved for Satwant Singh who killed Indira Gandhi or even recently for Dhanajoy Chattopadhyaya ? The explanation for this special consideration for the LTTE perhaps lies in what Rajiv had told her about their future. May be therefore Sonia feels obliged to the LTTE for the assassination. More on this later.

Those who have no love for India will not hesitate to plunder her treasures. Mohammed Ghori, Nadir Shah, and the British scum in the East India Company such as Robert Clive, made no secret of it. But Sonia Gandhi has been more discreet, but as greedy, in her looting of Indian treasures. When Indira Gandhi and Rajiv Gandhi were Prime Ministers, not a day passed when the PM’s security did not go to the New Delhi, or Chennai international airport to send crates and crates of Indian antiques and other treasures, unchecked by customs, to Rome. Air India and Alitalia were the chosen carriers. For organizing all this, Mr. Arjun Singh first as CM, later as Union Minister in charge of Culture, was her hatchet man.

Indian temple sculpture of gods and goddesses, antiques, pichwai paintings, shatoosh shawls, coins, and you name it, were transported to Italy to be first displayed in two shops [see Annexure-16] owned by her sister, Anuskha alias Alessandra Maino Vinci. These shops located in blue-collar areas of Rivolta [shop name: Etnica] and Orbassano [shop name: Ganpati] did little business because which blue collar Italian wants to buy Indian antiques ? The shops were there to make false bills, and thereafter these treasures were taken to London for auction by Sotheby’s and Christies.

(Annexure 16: An article in Hindu dt.3.2.98 regarding Antique shop run by

Sonia Gandhi’s family in Orbassano and Proceeings in the Delhi High Court regarding the Antique smuggling case by Dr.Subramanian Swamy.)
Some of this ill-gotten money from auction went into the bank accounts of Rahul Gandhi in the National Westminister Bank and Hongkong & Shanghai Bank, London branches, but most of it found it’s way into the Gandhi family account in the Bank of America in Cayman Islands. Rahul’s expenses and tuition fees for the one year he was at Harvard, was paid from that Cayman Island account [see Annexures-17].

(Annexure 17: Dr.Subramanian Swamy’s letter to the then Union Finance Minister Mr.Yeshwant Sinha regarding Rahul Gandhi’s foreign bank a/c and the acknowledgement of the letter by the Minister.)


What kind of people are these Gandhi-Mainos that bite the very hand of Bharat Mata that fed them and gave them a good life? How can the nation trust or tolerate such greedy thieves of national treasures?


Since I failed to persuade the Vajpayee government to defend India’s treasures from plunder by the Mainos, I approached the Delhi High Court in a PIL. The first Bench of the court issued notice to the Government, but since the Indian government dragged it’s feet, the Court directed the CBI to seek Interpol’s and Italian government’s help. The Italian government justifiably asked for a Letter Rogatory for which a FIR is a pre-requisite. But the Interpol did oblige and submitted two voluminous reports on the shops which the Court directed the CBI to hand over to me. But CBI has so far refused, and has claimed privilege!


This question will be argued out at the next hearing of my PIL.

The CBI has also been caught lying in court by telling the judges that Alessandra Maino is a name of a man, and Via Bellini 14, Orbassano is a name of a village[not the street address of the Maino’s residence]. Although the CBI counsel had to apologise later to the court stating he had made a mistake, he has been promoted to Additional Solicitor General by the new government! Why was he appointed as the CBI’s counsel by the Vajpayee government in the first place? The Vajpayee-Sonia mutual assistance pact is thus in full view in this episode.


But the most sinister aspect of Sonia Gandhi’s links is her connection with terrorists. I am still working on it, but she has had long connection with the Habash group of Palestinians [PFLP], and has funded Palestinian families that lost their kith and kin in a suicide bombing or hijacking episode. This fact, Rajiv Gandhi himself told me and was confirmed to me [the funding aspect] by Yassir Arafat when I met him in Tunis on October 17, 1990 at the request of Rajiv Gandhi. Rajiv and I were good friends from 1978, but became very close friends after V.P. Singh had betrayed him in 1987. We met practically every day, mostly in the early hours from 1AM to 4AM, discussed, chatted and gossiped on every topic. It was at my suggestion that Rajiv made Chandrashekhar the PM. And contrary to public impression, he was not mainly responsible for fall of Chandrashekar government [of which I was a Minister].


Besides the Palestinian extremists, the Maino family have had extensive business dealings with Saddam Hussein [see Annexure-18], and surprisingly since 1984 with the LTTE [“the Tamil Tigers”]. Sonia’s mother Paola Predebon Maino, and businessman Ottavio Quattrocchi are the main contacts with the Tigers. The mother used the LTTE for money laundering and Quattrocchi for selling weapons to earn commissions. Sonia’s conduit to the LTTE has been and is through Arjun Singh who uses Bangalore as the nodal point for contact.


(Annexure 18: Dr.Subramanian Swamy’s letter to Director, CBI enclosing a news item in Indian Express regarding receipt of funds by Congress Party from Saddam Hussain.)


There is a string of circumstantial evidence pointing to the prima facie possibility that the Maino family may have contracted with the LTTE to kill Rajiv Gandhi. The family may have assured the LTTE that nothing would happen to them because they would ensure it is blamed on the Sikhs or the evidence so much fudged that no court would convict them[ the LTTE intercepted transcripts show this expectation of the LTTE]. But D.R. Karthikeyan of the CBI who led the SIT investigation got the support of Narasimha Rao, cracked the case, and succeeded in getting the LTTE convicted in the trial court, which conviction was upheld by the Supreme Court in 1999.


Although on the involvement of some members of the Congress Party in the assassination, DRK soft peddled it ignoring a number of leads perhaps because he did not want political controversy to put road blocks on his investigation as a whole.


The Justice J. S. Verma Commission, which was set up as the last official act of the Chandrashekhar government before demitting office on June 21, 1991, did find that the Congress leaders had disrupted the security arrangements for the Sriperumbudur meeting. The Commission wanted further probe into it but the Rao government rejected that demand. In the meantime under Sonia’s pressure, the Jain Commission was set up by the Rao government, which tried to muddy the waters and thus exonerate the LTTE. But the trial court judgment convicting the LTTE came earlier than the Commission could conclude, and that sinister effort therefore too failed.


Nowadays, Sonia is quite unabashed in having political alliance with those who like MDMK, PMK, and DMK praise Rajiv Gandhi’s killers. No Indian widow would ever do that. Such circumstances are many, and raise a doubt. My investigations into Sonia’s involvement in Rajiv’s assassination is therefore necessary. I am also author of a best seller titled Assassination Of Rajiv Gandhi—Unasked Questions and Unanswered Queries [published by Konark in 2000] in which I have given some indications of this possible conspiracy.


IS IT NOT SIGNIFICANT THAT THE POLITICAL CAREER GRAPH OF SONIA GANDHI ADVANCES CONCOMITANTLY WITH A SERIES OF ASSASSINATIONS AND APPARENTLY ACCIDENTAL DEATHS?


How did Sanjay’s plane on June 23, 1980 nosedive to a crash and yet the plane fuselage failed to explode upon impact? There was no fuel! How was that possible since flight register shows full tank before take-off ? Why was there no inquiry conducted?


Is it not a fact that Indira Gandhi died because of loss of blood from the wounds and not directly due to a bullet impacting her head or heart? Then is it not strange that Sonia had insisted that the bleeding Indira be driven to Lohia Hospital-- in the opposite direction to AIIMS which had a contingency protocol set up for precisely such an event ? And after reaching Lohia Hospital, did not Sonia change her mind and demand that they all drive to AIIMS thus losing 24 valuable minutes?


The same kind of mystery surrounds the sudden deaths of Sonia’s other political roadblocks such as Rajesh Pilot, Jitendra Prasad, and Madhavrao Scindia. Such untimely deaths happened in the dark ages in Italy. Should we allow it to happen in India like dumb cattle going to slaughter?


WHAT PATRIOTIC INDIANS CAN DO


We have to ensure that the Maino clan does not stay in power. Dr. Manmohan Singh may be PM, which is a small relief, but he is not a fighter. The real power in government today is wielded by the Maino mafia gang. Can they be dethroned? I argue that they must be, for India’s integrity and democracy.


In Indian democracy, other than by losing majority, only a shocking scandal can unseat a government. Today’s priority is however not for toppling the Congress government as such, since Manmohan Singh is a decent and scholarly person, but in driving the Maino clan out of India. If the only way that can be done is by toppling the Singh government, then so be it. But the successor government should be such that it will not protect Sonia and her clan as Vajpayee’s did.


It will although not be long before Sonia will give Manmohan Singh marching orders, and he will march out meekly. We should not expect him to resist. Thus time with patriotic Indians is limited.


With Sonia’s defacto government in place, it is also unrealistic to expect that I can get an early victory in the courts on the KGB and antique smuggling cases. The most potent scandal at hand, therefore, that can dislodge the Maino clan[including Rahul and Priyanka] lies in exposing their existing Italian citizenship. That will galvanise the people.


In 1992, Sonia had revived her citizenship of Italy under Article 17 of the Italian Citizenship Law [Act 91 of 1992]. Rahul and Priyanka were born Italian citizens because Sonia was Italian when she gave birth to them[Italian law based on jure sanguinis]. (see Annexure-19) Hence, they continue be Italians since they have never renounced their citizenship upon becoming 21 years old. Both, Rahul and Priyanaka have been traveling abroad on Italian passports. They may now acquire Venezuela passports too, since Rahul Gandhi’s wife, Veronica, is a Venezuelan. (See annexure- 20) That means one more foreign bahu for us tolerant Indians. The Maino-Gandhis are certainly getting Indian society globalised in their own selfish way.


To end Bharat Mata’s shame and pain, what can patriotic Indians do in a democracy?


As a first step there is an urgent need to document the facts about their citizenship on notarized paper, for which we need to set up a network in London, Milan, Hongkong, and in Venezuela. Those persuaded by my above stated facts and arguments may join in and help set up this network. Other steps can come later once this is accomplished.

(Dr Subramanian Swamy’s ‘Do you know your Sonia?’ ends here)

CONCLUSION:

If Javier Moro MERITS A LEGAL NOTICE FOR HIS TEPID BOOK THEN THE ABOVE RACY AND EXCITING THRILLER TITLED ‘Do you know your Sonia?’ in Dr Subramanian Swamy’s website http://www.janataparty.org/sonia.html

MERITS A STRONGER LEGAL NOTICE FOR DEFAMATION AND LIBEL!! The whole world excepting the Sonia Congress Party Office On Akbar Road in New Delhi knows that THE FACTS ABOUT SONIA GANDHI AND HER ROYAL FAMILY STATED IN THE WEBSITE ABOVE ARE ROOTED IN SOLIDLY TERRESTRIAL RUGGED TRUTH!

Oscar Wilde (1854-1900) had persons like Sonia Gandhi in view when he wrote `Every Saint has a past and every sinner a future'. I am summarizing below Dr. Swamy's main points and arguments. The whole world knows that the SOSS (Servants of Sonia Society!) loves to float in gaseous and fictitious air with unrequited love for romantic fiction. More than sudden death, every Sonia Congressmen fears simple and ordinary everyday facts and plain truth!

Spain is not SONIALAND of India. Italy is not SONIALAND of India. France is not SONIALAND of India. Under the mistaken impression that U.S.A is the SONIALAND of India, commanded and dictated to by the Sonia Congress Party in India, an organization called THE INDIAN NATIONAL OVERSEAS CONGRESS INC IN USA filed a suit against the American Indian Intellectuals Forum in U.S.A 2 years ago claiming very heavy damages for their having published a full page advertisement in the New York Times giving all the lurid details about the atrocities and the corrupt deeds of Sonia Gandhi and her family in India. With their overwhelming ill-gotten money power, the Sonia Congress mercenaries in New Delhi thought that they could use the American Judicial system to blackmail and intimidate the Hindutva-minded American Indians into submission. The treacherous tycoons of the Sonia Congress Party in New Delhi kissed the American dust when Hon’ble Justice Patricia Del Bueno Cleary, JSC of Superior Court of New Jersey Law Division: Monmouth County (Civil Action Docket Number L-2533-08) in her Order dated August 15 2008 dismissed the complaint filed by Indian National Overseas Congress INC. This organization was cleverly deployed by Sonia Congress Party to put down and crush the moral, ethical and spiritual forces of Hindutva, Sanatana Dharma and Hinduism in the United States of America

I am presenting below a copy of this Order which speaks for itself.

American Courts of Law, quite unlike the Courts in India, are beyond the intimidation, bluff and bluster and blandishments of Political Parties and Political Personalities. Sonia Gandhi and her Party men have learnt a lesson once and for all that the American Courts of Law-----unlike the Indian Courts of Law including the Supreme Court of India----are committed only to the establishment of THE RULE OF LAW and not to the cheap and disgusting RULE OF MEN AND WOMEN IN POWER (Like The Ever Crawling Vermin In The Sonia Congress Party).

I have presented above the full story titled “Know your Sonia” presented by Dr.Subramanian Swamy on his website
 http://www.janataparty.org/sonia.html. This website has lot more damning material on Sonia Gandhi.
This explosive truth-fixing website has been seen by thousands of people all over the world during the last several years. It is quite impossible to imagine that Abhishek Singhvi might not have seen this website. Now in case he chooses to give a Legal Notice to Dr.Subramanian Swamy, I have no doubt then that his new case would also meet the same end as the legal case that was routed by Sonia Congress Party and Sonia Gandhi through the Indian National Overseas Congress INC. in the Superior Court of New Jersey Law Division: Monmouth County (Civil Action Docket Number L-2533-08) and which was dismissed with prejudice.


I fully endorse the view of Dr.S.Kalyanaraman “Abhishek Singhvi SHOULD SPEND MONEY FILING SUCH SUITS AGAINST RED SARI BOOK IN SPAIN, FRANCE, ITALY, NETHERLANDS AND INDIA. THIS WILL BE MONEY WELL SPENT TO SUPPORT THE JUSTICE SYSTEM IN THOSE COUNTRIES!!!”
