After the cancellation of FCRA license by the Ministry of Home Affairs on Rajiv Gandhi Foundation, a round of allegations and counter allegations have started between the leaders of BJP and Congress. At the same time, BJP leader and former Rajya Sabha MP Subramanian Swamy has strongly objected to the Foundation’s reply. He said that buying pizza is the main issue.
Subramanian Swamy tweeted on Monday (October 24, 2022) that TDK says BJP government’s action against money laundering by RGF is to divert public attention from core issues. Swamy further taunted that what are the main issues if not corruption, fraud, dishonesty and anarchy? Is buying pizza the main issue?
Swamy had complained to Home Minister Amit Shah in the year 2020
Even after the cancellation of the license, BJP leader Subramanian Swamy had said on Sunday that the action to ban RGF was taken on his complaint. He told that he had complained about it in 2020 after Amit Shah became the Home Minister. Swamy said that I had sent him a big document, which was sent earlier also when Rajnath Singh was the Home Minister. I have mentioned five ways in which fraud has been committed.
Talking about the modus operandi of fraud, Swamy said that the first method was to build the office of the Congress party on government land. The second building was constructed with public money, but the ownership remained with the Gandhi family. Third, they have violated FCRA rules by taking money from embassies.
