NEW DELHI: Enforcement Directorate has started gathering information related to a petition pending before Allahabad high court on the alleged UK citizenship of Congress functionary Rahul Gandhi.The agency has summoned petitioner Vignesh Shishir, a BJP member, who had approached the court demanding cancellation of Gandhi’s Indian citizenship on the alleged ground that the Lok Sabha LoP had acquired citizenship of the UK where he ran businesses.Sources said Shishir has been summoned by the agency to seek from him the details he claims to have, going by his petition before the high court, about Rahul Gandhi’s UK citizenship and the companies associated with him, as well as his foreign accounts, if any.On Saturday, petitioner Vignesh Shishir said he had received a summons from ED “with regards to Rahul Gandhi, MP, related to his British citizenship case”. He said he will appear before the agency to submit all information on Sept 9.ED is curious to know if “information” with Shishir represents any violation of the foreign exchange management act (FEMA), or if there were banking transactions and income abroad which were not declared.During the last hearing of case in May, Shishir had informed HC that UK govt has shared details with Centre on the UK citizenship of Rahul Gandhi and he, being the petitioner, was also notified by home ministry. In addition, during another review petition in July, Shishir claimed to have shared videos and documents related to Rahul Gandhi obtained from London, Vietnam and Uzbekistan.As reported earlier, the Lucknow bench of Allahabad HC had asked Centre to gather information from UK govt on the claims made by Vignesh and also provide security to the petitioner.Shishir’s PIL claims the petitioner has documents and e-mails of British govt establishing that Rahul had taken up UK citizenship. The petitioner argued that since dual citizenship is not allowed in India, the LS LoP must be barred from being a voter and disqualified from contesting any election.
