Book puts Sonia Gandhi (Antonia Maino) under scrutiny

"There are no records to show whether Congress president Sonia Gandhi has yet applied to give up her Italian citizenship," remarked noted thinker and journalist S Gurumurthy after the release of the book Sonia under scrutiny in the Capital on Friday
The book published by India First Foundation, has been edited by senior journalist and political analyst A Surya Prakash, and claims to 'scrutinise' Ms Sonia Gandhi's foreign origin and the security implications if Ms Sonia Gandhi holds the highest office of the nation.
Praising the efforts of Mr Surya Prakash and other contributors to the book, Mr Gurumurthy blamed the convent-educated intellectual for not debating Ms Gandhi's origin issue until now and termed it as a casualty.
Adding a touch of humour, Mr Gurumurthy said: "Why should we hesitate to call her a foreigner when she hesitated to become an Indian". Throwing some light on the citizenship issue of Ms Sonia Gandhi, he said she was registered as Antonia Maino Gandhi (Sonia) with the Indian authorities.
Mr Gurumurthy reminded the audience that Ms Sonia Gandhi made her way into the Gandhi family in 1968. After every five years, till 1983, she appeared before Indian authorities seeking the "permit to live in India but was not willing to surrender her Italian citizenship. Till 27th April 1983, she had the choice whether to remain a foreigner.
However she attained Indian citizenship within three days on April 30, 1983."
He also reminded the audience of a statement made by Ms Gandhi in 1971 where she mentioned that - "I will die for my motherland". Mr Gurumurthy raised the doubts by a question: "What will be her motherland and where does her heart lie?"
Talking about the recent Bofors issue that has put the Congress into troubled waters he mentioned that there is a symbiotic relation between Bofors and Sonia Gandhi, and the link is Ottavio Quattrocchi, the Italian businessman. Commenting on the `decline' of the Congress regime in the country he said, "the `source' of Congress' decline dates back to the split of Congress in 1969. Earlier whole body was paralysed, now it is cerebral paralysis." M J Akbar, the editor of The Asian Age, who launched the book said, "understanding of the Indian politics by Congress President Sonia Gandhi is bad."

Talking about the recent Bofors issue that has put the Congress into troubled waters he mentioned that there is a symbiotic relation between Bofors and Sonia Gandhi, and the link is Ottavio Quattrocchi, the Italian businessman. Commenting on the `decline' of the Congress regime in the country he said, "the `source' of Congress' decline dates back to the split of Congress in 1969. Earlier whole body was paralysed, now it is cerebral paralysis." M J Akbar, the editor of The Asian Age, who launched the book said, "understanding of the Indian politics by Congress President Sonia Gandhi is bad."
Akbar, however, said the book release had nothing to do with the publication of the article in his paper. He said "the timing was chosen by the Swedish policeman (Sten Lindstrom) who wanted to give the story. The national daily has carried articles by Bofors investigator Lindstrom in which he sought that Sonia Gandhi be questioned so that "truth" could come out about the pay- off in the gun deal.
While praising the BJP leadership, he said that the BJP came to power as an institution and has become a ruling power and is going to remain so. Janata Dal (U) leader Jaya Jaitley who has also contributed in the book, said "Sonia Gandhi still has one leg in Italy as demonstrated by the fact that she still has property there."
Editor of the book, A Surya Prakash said: "Since Sonia Gandhi hopes to be India's Prime Minister, the book examines the legal, constitutional, political and security implications of such an eventuality".
"It is also an effort by some of us to aggregate our views on each of these issues and put it across to the reading public. More importantly, the purpose of the book is to disseminate information on an issue that has serious implications for the country," he added.
On a question whether the book "might" have widespread political ramifications now, Mr Surya Prakash told The Pioneer that even if the book was read by about 20 crore Indians: "the purpose is solved".
Amongst noted personalities present on the occasion were Balbir Punj (Rajya Sabha MP), IFF President Dinanath Mishra and Editor of The Pioneer Dr Chandan Mitra, (Rajya Sabha MP)
