Unmasking Sonia Gandhi

Rajiv Gandhi entered active politics after Sanjay’s death in 1980. He began to participate in the classified briefings of the RAW even though he held no position in the government. Not just he, he wanted Arun Nehru and Arun Singh too to participate in such briefings. The agency protested saying that they had no official position. But Indira Gandhi stepped in and asked RAW to allow them to be present. The agency agreed reluctantly, but told Indira that their names would remain unrecorded in the briefing.

ou want more clear evidence of her distrust of India? Here it is: In 1986, the RAW official stationed at Geneva was told by Jack Kunzi, the Commissioner of Police at Geneva, that the VIP children had returned safely to Italy after their visit to Geneva. Who were the VIP children? The RAW official had no clue. He knew nothing about their visit.

The Swiss police official who was the RAW official’s good friend told him their names. You have any doubt who they could be? They were Rahul and Priyanka. They had come to Geneva by car with Walter Winci, said the Swiss official. He also informed the RAW official he was in the picture and the RAW official was not. He said that the Italian foreign office was the co-ordinator. It had informed the Swiss foreign office, who in turn informed the Swiss police.

Jack Kunzi taunted the RAW official who was his friend, ‘‘Your Prime Minister’s wife does not seem to trust you or your embassy. She gets the security for her children co-ordinated by Italians.’’ Humiliated, the RAW official makes the usual complaint to his boss. The boss files the complaint. There ends the story of humiliation of India in Switzerland and Italy.

She brought her family into the security matters of India even when Indira was alive. She forced Italian security on India even when Rajiv Gandhi was alive. She openly distrusted Indian security and diplomatic system and privately liaised with the Italian diplomatic system for her security. If she did this when Indira was alive; if she went as far when Rajiv was alive; if she did this when she was just out of the Congress and out of power, what will she do when put in power?

Or what she will not? Yet she pretends to die for India. This is not real Sonia. The whole western world, not exactly the friends of India, knows about her. But not we, in India. We do not know the real Sonia.
