(El sari rojo/ The red sari
(Seix Barral Biblioteca Breve)
(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.

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".

 Javier Moro, the author of the book, on the left

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.

3
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".

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 defense 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

4
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!! In her capacity as Chairman of the UPA
Coordination Committee she has succeeded in criminalizing our public life! Her
infinite compassion for Spectrum Fraud Raja is now a global fact!

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 Congress president.
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 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.”

5
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 task—
it 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.

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.

I would like to invite the kind attention of the ever-alert and ever-vigilant legal cell of Sonia
Congress Party to the exciting story titled ‘Do You Know Your Sonia?’ published in the
following website of Dr Subramanian Swamy.

This story has gone around the world. It has been seen with interest by most of the NRI’s
and their children in all parts of the world.

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

8
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.

9
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

10
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.

11
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.

12
SONIA'S KGB CONNECTIONS

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.

13
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

14
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

15
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

16
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.

17
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.

18
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

19
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 AMERICAN COURT ORDER which speaks for
itself.

20
21
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 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 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!!!”
