She is President of
Indian National Congress is the simplest answer. But after going through various
articles we found it’s a difficult task to answer the question, thus we have
taken excerpts from various articles by Dr Subramanian Swamy to come with an appropriate answer for our readers.
It is very difficult
for Indian citizens to get information about Sonia Gandhi’s past. Don’t we find
it difficult to know the real background of even India-born politicians? In
case of a foreign-born, it is much harder to get such information because of
the remoteness of the place and the language-barrier (Italian in this case).
Never the less, Indian citizens have the right to know. This note is based on
information publicized by Sonia herself and the Congress Party. It clearly
brings out the lies for real.
LIES
Name: Sonia
Birthplace: Orbassano
Education: Diploma in English from Cambridge University
Occupation: Political
Leader
Image: Honest and clean
THE TRUTH
Name: Antonia Maino
Birthplace: Luciana
Education: Has not studied beyond high school
Occupation: Agent of
Russian Intelligence Agency, KGB
Image: Highly corrupt
(1) Real Name:
Sonia Gandhi’s real
name is not Sonia, but Antonia Maino. This was revealed by the Italian
Ambassador in New Delhi in a letter dated April 27, 1983 to the Union Home
Ministry. This letter has intentionally never been made public by the Home
Ministry. Antonia is Sonia’s real name as stated in her birth certificate.
(2) Real Father:
Sonia’s said-father is
Stefano Maino; the real husband of her mother. According to Sonia Gandhi’s
birth certificate, she was born in Luciana in December 1944. But it turns out
that Stefano Maino was in jail in Russia from 1942 to 1945. Stefano had joined
the Nazi army as a volunteer, as many Italian fascists had done, and was a
prisoner of war in Russia during these years. Therefore, it is clear that
Stefano Maino could not have been Sonia’s father. To hide this, her birth date
was changed to 9th December 1946, and her birth-place was changed to Orbassano.
While in the Russian jail, Sonia’s father gradually converted to a Soviet
supporter.
(3) Real Place of
Birth:
Sonia was not born in
Orbassano, as she claims in her bio-data submitted to Parliament on becoming an
MP. She was born 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 that is still surviving in Italy; since the end of the
War. Luciana is where Nazi-Fascist network is head quartered; and is on the
Italian-Swiss border. There can be no other explanation for this otherwise
meaningless lie.
(4) False Declaration
of her Education:
Sonia Gandhi has not
studied beyond High School. But in her sworn-affidavit filed as a contesting
candidate before the Rae Bareli Returning Officer in the 2004 Lok Sabha
elections, she falsely claimed that she got a diploma in English from the
prestigious University of Cambridge, UK. She had made the same false claim
earlier in 1999 in her biographical-data given under her signature to the Lok Sabha
Secretariat. This was published in Parliament’s 'Who’s Who'. Later, after Dr Subramanian Swamy pointed this out to the Lok Sabha Speaker in a written complaint of a
'Breach of Ethics' of the Lok Sabha, she wrote to the Speaker claiming that it
was a “typing mistake”. This would probably qualify for inclusion 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 Orbassano). In those days, poverty had forced
young Italian girls to go to such missionary schools and then go to USA to get
jobs as cleaning maids, waitresses and domestic help. The Mainos were poor
those days. Sonia’s father was a mason; and her mother a tenant farmer [now the
family is worth crores]. Thus, Sonia went to the town of Cambridge in the UK;
where she first learnt some English in a teaching-shop called 'Lennox School'.
That is her “education”— enough knowledge of English language to get domestic
help-jobs. But since education is highly valued in Indian society; so to fool
the Indian public Sonia Gandhi will fully 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.
These lies indicate that Ms. Sonia Gandhi has something to hide, or has a
hidden agenda for India, to openly fool Indians for some ulterior or hidden
purpose. We therefore need to find out more about her.
(5) Sonia’s Entry into
India:
Ms. Sonia Gandhi, upon
learning enough English, became a waitress in Varsity Restaurant in Cambridge
town. She first met Rajiv Gandhi; when he came to the restaurant in 1965. Rajiv
was a student in the University; but could not cope with the academic rigour of
Cambridge University for long. He had to leave Cambridge in 1966 for London
where he was briefly in Imperial College of Engineering as a student. Sonia too
moved to London; where she got a job with an outfit run by a Pakistani, Salman
Thassir. Obviously, Sonia made enough money in this job to loan funds to Rajiv,
who was living beyond his allowances. Rajiv’s letters to Sanjay Gandhi clearly
indicate that he was in financial debt to Sonia; he requested Sanjay to pay off
the debt. However, Rajiv was not the only friend Sonia was seeing those days.
Madhavrao Scindia and a German, named Stiegler, are worth mentioning as other
close friends of Sonia. Madhavrao’s friendship continued even after Sonia’s
marriage to Rajiv.
She did not apply for
Indian citizenship in 1968 when she married Rajiv and came to India, which is
what good Indian wives would have done. She filled in an application in 1968
for permission to stay as a foreigner in India for five years. She said I am
married, I am married into the family of the Indian Prime Minister but I would
still like to remain a foreigner. So she was given a certificate in 1968 to
reside in India as a foreigner for five years. Okay, this may have been due to
some adjustment problems.
In 1973, after the
first five year period expired, she again applied for the permit to stay on
India for another five years as a foreigner and this is the person who is going
to live and die for us. There is not only complete divorce between what she
says and what she does there is also a clue that she will do precisely the
opposite of what she says. So, she again applied for a foreigner’s permit. You
know why? Between 1968 and 1973, the indications were all there of the imminent
war with Pakistan over East Pakistan. And sure enough, there was the Bangladesh
war. During the Bangladesh war, when all commercial pilots were asked to forego
their leave and come into service, she asked Rajeev to go on a long leave and
he was given special permission and they left India. And throughout the period
of the war, they were in Rome. Why, because the American seventh fleet was
moving towards India and Sonia Gandhi probably had serious doubts about India’s
survival! So she ran away from the country with her husband; to that extent
faithful. And she returned only after peace was restored, after India had won
the war, when because of Indira Gandhi, that family acquired stature and became
invincible.
So, we have to read
between the lines, you have to look at the persons behind the skin. So, in
1973, she again applied for a permit to remain a foreigner in India. Now let us
come to the period between 1973 and 1978. In the year 1977 when Mrs. Gandhi was
defeated after she lifted the Emergency and called for elections, Sonia Gandhi
learnt the mood of the nation and she went into the Italian embassy and refused
to come out of it. She said she was going back to Italy. Sanjay Gandhi had to
go and plead with her to return. This is the person who is going to live and
die for India, please understand. To live in India is very different from
living for India. And to live in India in such glory, with such protection,
with such resources, is very different from dying for India. No one will die
for something which one does not own up to. Owning up to India is different
from thinking you own India.
(6) Rajiv Gandhi and
Sonia’s Controversial Marriage:
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 firmly opposed to the
marriage; arranged for another marriage ceremony in New Delhi; as per Vedic traditions;
to fool the gullible Indian public. And all this happened only after the
pro-Soviet T.N. Kaul prevailed upon her to accept the marriage in “the larger
interest of cementing Indo-Soviet Friendship”. The question that arises is;
'Who had persuaded Kaul to intervene in this way?' During the 1971 war with
Pakistan, in a time of national crisis; when every patriotic Indian was willing
to lay down his life for the nation; Sonia Maino fled to Italy with Rajiv
Gandhi!
Sonia – Rajiv’s
relationship
(Dr. Subramanian Swamy)
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 rigor 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 an export-import company headquartered
in Dubai but who spends most of his time in London. This fits the profile of an
ISI functionary. Obviously, Sonia made enough money in this job to loan Rajiv
funds in London, who was obviously living beyond his allowances [Indira herself
expressed anguish to me on this score in late 1965 when she invited me to a
private tea at the Guest House in Brandeis University]. Rajiv’s letters to
Sanjay, who was also in London then, clearly indicate that he was in financial
debt to Sonia because he requested Sanjay who obviously had more access to
money, to pay off the debt. 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 Sonia. It is a pity that he died in mysterious
circumstances in an air crash.
(7) Sonia, an Agent of
Russian Intelligence Agency, KGB:
When a son of Indian Prime Minister dates a
girl in London, it is quite natural that the KGB; which valued Indo-Soviet
relations; would investigate her. Upon investigations; they had found out that
she was the daughter of Stefano Maino, their old reliable Italian contact.
Thus, for the Soviets, Sonia’s marriage to Rajiv meant deep access into the
household of the Indian Prime Minister. Hence the Rajiv-Sonia relationship was
in the Soviet national interest and the KGB went to work on it. After her
marriage to Rajiv; the Soviet connection with the Mainos was strengthened and
nurtured by generous financial help through commissions and kick-backs on every
Indo-Soviet trade-deal & defence purchases. Dr. Yevgenia Albats, Ph.D
[Harvard], a noted Russian scholar & journalist, was a member of the KGB
Commission set up by President Yeltsin in August 1991. She had access to the
Soviet intelligence files that documented these deals and KGB facilitation of
the same. In her book, 'The State With in a State: The KGB in the Soviet
Union', she even gives the reference numbers of such intelligence files. These
can now be accessed by any Indian government through a formal request to the
Kremlin. In 1992, the official spokesperson of the government confirmed the
authenticity of Dr Albats’ disclosure [this which was published in The Hindu in
1992]. The spokesperson defended such financial payments as necessary in
“Soviet ideological interest”. Part of the funds was used by the Maino family
to fund loyal Congress party candidates in the General Elections. When the
Soviet Union disintegrated in 1991, things changed for Ms. Sonia Gandhi. Her
source of funds turned dry and as a result, Sonia started turning away from
Russia. Upon Dr. Manmohan Singh’s government taking office, Russian President
Mr. Putin (who has been a close agent of KGB) appointed a special person as
their new Ambassador in New Delhi; who had first-hand knowledge about Sonia’s
history and her family connections with the Russia. It is common knowledge that
the current Indian Government is run by Sonia Gandhi. This Government therefore
cannot afford to annoy the Russian Ambassador or even disregard Russian demands
that come from him and asa result, Indo-Russian relations have now reached a
new level. Even in the United States; the government will 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 two different things
and they cannot be mixed at any cost.
(8) Sonia’s Contempt
for Laws of India (Sonia will have to leave Bharat):
After Sonia married Rajiv, she and her Italian
family, aided by their friend Ottavio Quattrocchi, went about minting money
with complete disregard for Indian laws. Within a few years; the Mainos rose
from utter poverty to become billionaires. On November 19, 1974, as fresh
entrant to Parliament, I (Subramaniam Swamy) 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; which is a crime; and using undue influence to get the
officers of the PMO insured. Since she remained an Italian citizen this was
also a violation of FERA. There was uproar in Parliament, and Mrs. Indira
Gandhi was very upset, but she had no alternative. She made a rare admission in
a written reply a few days later that this was true, and that it was by
mistake, but that Sonia had resigned from her insurance agency [after my
question]. But Sonia’s contempt for Indian law continued...In 1977, the Supreme
Court Justice A.C. Gupta Commission set up by the Janata Party government came
out with a report on the Maruti Company. (Maruti was then owned by the Gandhi
family). The report listed eight violations of FERA, Companies Act, and
Foreigners Registration Act by Sonia Gandhi. However, Sonia was never
prosecuted. In reality, she can be prosecuted even now; because under Indian
law, economic crimes are not subject to the statute of limitation (i.e. there
is no maximum time for initiating legal proceedings in case of economic
crimes).
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 an Italian citizen then]. When
this was raised by the media, the Delhi Chief Electoral Officer got her name deleted in 1982. But in January 1983, she again enrolled herself as a voter even
being a foreigner [she first applied for citizenship in April 1983]. Later,
Sonia became a Indian citizen; but she continued to retain her Italian
citizenship. More recently, A.G. Noorani is his book: 'Citizen’s Rights, Judges
& State Accountability records [page 318] alleged that Ms. Sonia Gandhi had
made secret papers of Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru available to a foreign
national. These papers were obviously illegally in her possession. He writes:
“Sonia Gandhi has no right to hold them in her possession at all, let alone
decide whom to accord permission for access to them”.
This clearly reveals
Sonia’s disregard for Indian laws. In conclusion, Sonia has no respect at all
for Indian laws; and behaves like someone who is above the law. If cornered or
if she becomes vulnerable to prosecution; she can always run back to Italy. In
Peru, President Fujimori who always 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 fall-back option too.
