The allegation that Rahul Gandhi, the Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, holds dual citizenship warrants an inquiry, the Lucknow Bench of the Allahabad High Court said today, directing the Uttar Pradesh government to conduct the investigation itself or have it conducted by referring the matter to a central agency.
The order came on a petition filed by S Vignesh Shishir, a BJP worker, challenging a January 28 order of a special MP/MLA court in Lucknow, which had rejected his plea seeking registration of an FIR against the Congress leader.
