 Dr. Subramanian Swamy speech at Freedom of Speech Rally, New York

on June 22nd, 2008

 

 

Full Text of Dr. Swamy speech

 

Kataria, Sahani, Dahiya, Dr. Kukar, Dr. Raghunath, ladies and gentleman, Dr. Kukar said if he once sued, he would like Dahiya to be his lawyer,  and if I want a speech writer, I want Dr.Kukar and Dr. Raghunath.  Dr. Kukar delivered one of the most  impassioned speeches which went to core point, what our duty is and what is at stake.  The topic today is relationship between freedom of speech and the litigation that is launched  against not only against  Kataria, Arish Sahani, Satya but also 100 other john doe’s yet to be named.  It is if Kataria and Arish Sahani has not decided to fight and Satya decided to join them, it would only be a matter of time before they could have included all those who opposed the present situation in our country, all those who are likely be opponents of Sonia Gandhi.  Of course the opponents are there (in India),  I am ready to oppose all the time, but she does not want to take me to court because I don’t need lawyers, I argue myself  and I use court as forum to argue the points that I have been saying in public.  But because  you are busy people,  you don’t like the hassle of going to court, you don’t want to waste your time on these peripheral matters and going to court and sitting there is a big hassle and therefore you would likely surrender and having surrendered you would be an example for others and others would say, look what happened to these people, we don’t want to get into this and better keep our silence, let them loot the country,  let them ruin the country,  we are sitting here in America and why should we oppose?

 

Role of Overseas Indians in restoration of democracy in India

 

Let me remind you that overseas Indians, particularly in United States played a major role in restoration of democracy (claps).  During emergency,  I had people argue and some people used to ask, (if we speak up) we will be targeted,  our passports will be cancelled, what is that we can do that you can’t do in India.  I said you have the freedom here to speak, exercise it and it could develop its own momentum,  and indeed Mrs. Gandhi herself told me  later on when she was reelected in 1980 and she wanted a favor from me in dealing with China and that time I was chit chatting with her and I asked her about emergency and why did you do the stupid thing of declaring elections that defeated you and she said that it came about by Indians abroad that spread my name all over and that I could not continue for ever without election, that’s why.  So, credit goes to you overseas Indians who stood for democracy and today the same democracy is threatened  (claps).     

 

Why are Sahani and Kataria chosen to file defamation lawsuit against?

 

I think Mr. Sahani and Mr Kataria are also targeted because they have been very active in organizing what is called Hindu Sangatan Divas year after year.   Hindu unity scares lot of people.   It scares Christian missionaries who want to convert, a hundred million converts in the next ten years,  this is target set two years ago in Dallas by Pat Robertson in a congregation of all foreign missionaries working abroad.    It is anathema to terrorists who are targeting Hindu institutions everyday,  who had driven out 500,000 hindus from Kashmir, who are butchering Hindus in Bangladesh.  Hindus are 83% of India and the day you unite, then you don’t need any Divas. (claps).  So Sahani and Kataria are organizing for long time these Hindu Sangathan Divas and all the enemies of India are against anyone who want to organize these.  So that is also a dimension, which I will refer towards the end.  And that is why it is appropriately called Hindu Defense Fund I think, to which you have to make your contributions.  It is not that those who are not Hindus cannot be part of, after all Muslims, Christians their ancestors are Hindus and if they proudly acknowledge that their ancestors are Hindus then they are part of the family because the term ‘Hindu’ is not a religious term, it is a term that describes our civilization and therefore if you identify with civilization of India it does not matter which religion you are.  Therefore, you are part of one family and you are welcome to join, provided you do not think your ancestors are Ghori and Ghazni. 

 

NY Times Vs Sullian (1964) Landmark Judgement

The connection between Freedom of Speech and overseas Congress filing a defamation suit has been established by precedence in the American Law.  After Sahani and his friend did, and what Kataria and others did was to cooperate with people like Satya to put an Ad  in New York Times.  What is this got to do with Freedom of Speech? After all, you did exercise your freedom of speech by putting an Ad and now you have been made accountable for it.  How is it  freedom of speech gets threatened by someone filing a suit, a question may be asked.   This precise question was raised in 1964 when New York Times published an Ad,  about civil rights abuses in Alabama and particularly targeting police commissioner of capital of Alabama.   And that Police commissioner filed a suit over New York Times and he claimed a damage of 10 million dollars.  Those days 10 million dollars is more than 100 million dollars today.  The lowers courts gave in to suit and  imposed the cost on New York Times to pay 10 million dollars.  NY Times went to state supreme court and state supreme court said, no, you have to pay the amount.  So, they went to the Supreme Court finally and it became the most classic and most fundamental case called, “NY Times Vs Sullivan, the police commissioner of Alabama.  This case has become the standard for defamation law suits.  In that Supreme court said, publishing an advertisement,  against public officials is only defamatory if that public official first proves that the advertisement is false, second that Public official also proves that New York Times knew it was false and yet published it  and three that the the  defendants prove that NY times knew it was false and yet went ahead and published it with reckless disregard for truth.   Now, they asked the Police Commissioner, can you prove that?   So the case was set aside and they were told to go back and start all over again at lower courts and prove that NY Times was fault on these grounds.  Subsequenty, NY Times standard, which is called ‘actual malice’ , which is a technical term and do not confuse with dictionary meaning of malice.  “Actual Malice’ means knowing something to be false,  in utter disregard to the truth go ahead and publish it, that is actual malice.  After the NY Times judgement, the supreme court in number of cases expanded the concept of public officials to public figure, basket ball player, public figure,  lawyer appearing in a public case, public figure, you can even slander a lawyer,  provided you can show that the case is a public case, so that a number of categories widened and widened, and Sonia Gandhi is in category of public figure without any doubt.   And therefore if this case is at all won, leave aside the technical points raised by Dahiya, even those set aside, Sonia Gandhi has to prove by herself coming onto witness box, has to prove that whatever was written on New York Times Ad is not only false but all those John Does knew it was false and yet with reckless disregard for truth published it.  Can she prove it? (Claps).

 

Why is reversal of burden of proof for Public Figures

 

This is what NY Times said, at the pain of litigation, at the pain of being sued for, what you speak, if public figures are allowed to go to court to sue for defamation,  then it will have a chilling effect on public debate  and democracy runs on public debate.  Why are they seeking for a separate category for public officials?  In the case of private person, files a defamation lawsuit, the other side (defendant) has to prove, the onus is on the other side (defendant side).  In the case of public person, the onus comes on you (plaintiff), why?   Why is this reversal of this burden of proof?  The reversal is because the public person can call a press conference and say this is a lie and challenge the defendants to prove.  Sonia Gandhi could have called a press conference and challenged Mr. Kataria and his friends to prove stating this is false and it is false for following reasons.  All the things that was said there, I will go over it in a minute and everyone of it is taken from written records and the lawyers for Kataria and others in their answer, in their reply to complaint,  have documented how they have taken from public records which has been so far been available.

 

So the connection is if you impose that pain of litigation in a matter in public domain then that has a chilling effect on the debate in the country and therefore it is a violation of freedom of speech and therefore a single case like this Kataria case is one that effects of your freedom of speech in the end, it will let loose a feeling which will chill further incentive to debate and discuss.  And that is why it is centrally related and this topic that you have chosen today is most appropriate topic.   

 

It is not a case of that Mr. Kataria fighting  and you are standing by him because you know him,  this is a case of all of us,  it is case of your freedom of speech, it is the case in the future you can live in this country far away from India,  without fear of long arm of Indian Government coming and  standing in the way (of your freedom of speech)  (Claps).

 

What are the charges?

 

Now, you may want to know what the charges are?  These charges they have quoted me,  strictly speaking they should have sued me and I am itching they would sue me. I was not sued, I know how to handle this.  Once Ramakrishna hegde filed a 50 crore defamation suit against me and I made his life so miserable that he finally withdrew the case.  That is why all lawyers got together and asked me why don’t you write a book .  I said there is no time to write a book but I will write an article and if you go to google and search under my name you will see how to fight a defamation  case (claps). 

 

By public figures in United States it is impossible to be sued.  It is the NY Time standard that has made it impossible.   In this case,  Sonia has not only have to prove that advertisement is false, show that you knew it is false.  If that happens, she will be made out in cross examination that all this is true. 

 

Don’t we have a right for us in our country to know the antecedents of our rulers?  Yes, we have a right. 

 

Is Sonia her real name?

 

Sonia Gandhi, is her real name?  Her birth certificate says it is Antonia Maino.  Her passport application, Indian Passport application also says her name is Antonia Maino.  So why is this name Sonia Gandhi is used?  For Gandhi, I understand she is married to the family.  But why Sonia?  Because Sonia is not even a Italian name.  It is a Russian name.  So, why is this in Sonia Gandhi name, why is the name ‘Sonia’ taken?  Lots of rumors have spread, but the reason is her father was jailed for four years as a prisoner of war.  He had signed for Hitler’s army, Hitler’s army went into Russia, so after war at St. Petersburg he was taken for prisoner for four years, but unlike all other German Soldiers that Russian never release before 14 years,  in this case they released in four years, which is taken to mean he must have capitulated to become a member of KGB and that is why he is let go.   So, he came back and gave Russian names to all his children. 

 

Sonia’s faking birth place?

 

Of course, there is one point I do not want to get into it,  it is irrelevant.  But I think I will mention it.  According to Sonia Gandhi Birth date, her birth certificate she was born in December 1944.  But at that time her father was in jail in Russia.   Unless like Jesus Christ, I cannot explain how this is possible that she claims her father is Maino but her fathers was in jail at that time.  That leads to another mystery.   Parliamentary records of Sonia Gandhi says she was born in Orbassano, but birth certification says she is born in Luciano, which is on the border to Switzerland.  It was a resort town for German Soldiers.  So, why you are lying your place of birth, unless you do not want birth place to be known?  I leave that to you as an area of speculation,  not connected to the lawsuit, but of course if it comes on for cross examination,  then the lawyers have legitimate right to ask where are you born,  on which date, who is your father,  where was he at that time.  These are all permitted cross examinations.   (On audience comments on Nehru family), It seems to be a problem with Nehru family.  No body know who the father is, who the mother is.

 

Sonia’s faking degree

 

Another thing it (the ad) talks about is faking her degree as from Cambridge university.   Is that wrong?  I have letter from the university Cambridge.  She has given an affidavit, sworn affidavit,  that she studied English in university of Cambridge.  And I got letter from the university there is no such student, never.  I went to court.   And finally the supreme court chief justice, told me, be generous,  Dr. swamy, be large hearted,  this is an old matter, leave it.  Of course, subsequently, Sonia Gandhi dropped from her affidavits.  The claim that degree in Cambridge is case of perjury.  One affidavit you says you were and another affidavit you are silent on it, it means that you are admitting perjury and unfortunately our society would not be tough enough.  In any other country, if you have faked your degree it would be serious.  Even in our own country, if a common man fakes his degree to get a job, if caught will lose his job.  Supreme court have repeatedly upheld that one of the most heinous crimes is to fake your education degree to get a job.  And here, a person who wants to rule the country has faked.  The only objection I have to satya (and friends) advertisement is in that he said she passed high school.  She has not passed high school.  In this she shares a common education background as Karunanidhi. 

 

Sonia as Au-Pair

 

It says in the advertisement, she worked an as au-pair.  What did you do?  If you are not studying in University of Cambridge and you were five years in England,  how did you support yourself?  Don’t you think we have right to ask these questions?  Even in a marriage you know, we ask these questions.  Why can’t we ask the antecedents of sonia Gandhi. Where did you work?  Without a college education, without a high school degree where did you work?  We have a right to know.  I tell you, I have done investigation, it is shocking, what I found out?  When you seek a job, you are asked this question.  If you go to an employer for job, he will ask who is your previous employer.  You are asking someone who wants to be leader of the country, you have no right to ask this question?  For that you file a defamation case,  in order to silence, so that you do not ask these questions.

 

Sonia’s Citizenship

 

In the citizenship question, is she a citizen of India?  She has registered as a citizen, but of course after 18 years of staying in India.  In her citizenship application,  the copy of which I have on my website, what did Sonia Gandhi answer to the question, ‘did you renounce the citizenship of your country’.  What did Sonia Gandhi write?  Not Applicable.   Why, why did she write that.  A junior officer objects to that.  No, she can’t write like that.  You have to produce a certificate from your government that you have renounced your citizenship.  She produces a letter from ambassador of Italy, saying that Sonia Gandhi has informed us she renounced her citizenship.  And Indira Gandhi orders that should be accepted.  Under section 10 of citizenship act,  any illegality found at any time in citizenship form,  filled by a person is a offence and can lead to cancellation of citizenship.  (Claps).  A new Government in India without any chamchas in it, can easily cancel it with one stroke of a pen.  Home minister can write himself that I am satisfied with myself that Ms. Sonia Gandhi has not filled the application properly and thereby order the cancellation of citizenship.  So, her future is very bleak in this.  We can ask this questions.

 

Sonia connections with KGB

 

She has connections with KGB.  I told you her father was in jail there.  She has been accused by the person who was appointed by member of a commission to investigate the affairs of KGB of Russia by President Yeltsin,  who then wrote a book in which she said,  Rajiv Gandhi and her family were regular recipients of this money.  And they were paid to company setup by the family.  This is there in black and white in Yevgenia Albats book, ‘The state within state, the role of KGB in Russia’.   It is there in writing. Yevgenia came to Harvard to get  PhD and I ran into her when I went to teach and I asked her.  And she said yes, the records were given to her as member of commission.  I asked her do you have a record and she said it is all in the library.  I went to Harvard library and downloaded it,  filed it in the high court,  the Delhi high court then issue notice to CBI,  go find out and CBI came back and reported that Russian authorities are ready to give the originals and attest the copies,  provided we give them a letter regatory?  Which is a communication from court of India to Govt of Russia  and that letter regatory cannot be issued unless you register an FIR and the Govt of India refused to file FIR and that is why my case went abyss.  I can revive it any time.  So, what is wrong in saying you have connections with KGB? There is prima facie evidence.  That is truth.   

 

Sonia’s – Heir of two billion dollars in Swiss account

 

She has received two billion dollars in her name in 1991.  Who says this?  The Government of Switzerland.  Why did they say it?  Because, Americans put pressure on that Government to tell about Ferdinand Marcos.  They put so much pressure, that the swiss authorities tabulated all the foreign leaders who had accounts, illegal accounts and they put photograph of Rajiv Gandhi,  in a magazine Schweitzer Ilustrete.  Schweitzer is name of Switzerland in German and that its caption on Rajiv Gandhi photo, that he and his company has two billion US dollars in account in 1991.  And, who is beneficiary of Rajiv Gandhi’s death?  Sonia Gandhi.  All that money has gone to her.  All the money of Indira Gandhi, (to) Sonia Gandhi.  Most money of Sanjay Gandhi (to), Sonia Gandhi.   Death is very profitable for Sonia Gandhi.   I would say in any criminal case, the first suspect is always the beneficiary.  Some day we have to find out.    What is wrong in asking these questions? 

 

Sonia – Antiques smuggling

Her sister, Anushka, that is a Russian name,  real name is Alexandria,  but father gave her name Anushka.  She has two shops, in Italy.  One is called, ethnica and another is called Ganapath, in the home town of Sonia Gandhi mother.  And photographs have been produced and I put it in court,  and it shows antiques stolen from all over India.   Who got it there?  The LTTE.  People did not believe but now that the Government has arrested there 33 LTTE persons in Italy, people have come to know that there is something after all.   Quaddrotchi used to sell weapons to LTTE.  And LTTE has huge presence in Palermo, Naper? and Milan.   Now that Americans have come to them, all European Governments are cracking on them, there and in Canada.  Now, anway antique smuggling.  Why should the sister of Sonia Gandhi has antique shop in the first place,  on the Indian antiques?   So, they are smuggled, kept in a shop and then they are prepared and take them to London and auctioned in Sotheby’s and Christies.  This racket also I documented, court was convinced and issued notice to CBI.  CBI wrote to Italy and Italy wrote back, give us a letter.  Govt of India said no.  Matter rested.  So, these are things that should shock you.  Our own national wealth is squandered this way, taken abroad, stolen,  using Air India flights, using Govt powers so that they are not inspected.  These are the people, she is a bogus Gandhi, not a real Gnadhi.  (I only have one thing about the legitimancy of various Gandhis going round in the internet,  Rajiv Gandhi is not son of Feroze Khan as websites has put up.  He is grandson of well known lawyer by name Kakar and Kakar is mayor of Allahabad and once he defeated Jawaharlal Nehru,  So, parentage is not strong point of Nehru, so we will not go into that). 

 

Rahul Gandhi – Lies on Education

 

Similarly the question of Rahul Gandhi.  Why is he registered as Rahul Vinci Gandhi in Rolings college in Orlando or some place like that, which is a Christian missionary college.  Why did he not register himself as Rahul Gandhi?  Why did he claim he has M.Phil from Cambridge.  University of Cambridge has no record of any thesis, you cannot get M.Phil without any thesis.  How did he claim that?  I asked university of Cambridge to give me a letter.  The university said we know what you did with Sonia Gandhi letter, we are not going to give any more letters.  So, they decline to give me any letter.   I went to the library where all thesis are kept.  His name is not there.   Not there as a student also.  Not there in registrar’s office as student who took exam, in the year he mentioned, 1995.   So, why did he claim.  He first claimed he went to Harvard.  Yes, he went to Harvard, in the sense, when Rajiv Gandhi was Prime Minister, Indujas gave 11 million dollars to  Harvard Medical School  and on donor’s quota and Harvard has this quota, but once you enter, you have to compete,  in three months, Harvard said we don’t think you belong here.  So, he dropped out.  Now, he doesn’t use the word Harvard.  Unfortunately for him, some one in politics like me has long standing connection with Harvard.  Why you tell lies like this?  Because in our country we respect education.   So, you tell a lie about education.   All of us work hard, to pass examination and get a degree,  these guys don’t do anything, and they put themselves as educated.

 

Rahul Citizenship

 

Is Rahul a citizen of India?   He is born in India.  But the Italian law says that if your mother is Italian citizen at the time of your birth,  which in 1970, which time Sonia Gandhi was a citizen (of Italy),  then you automatically become a citizen of Italy.   And law in India says, you cannot be a citizen of India, unless you renounce the citizenship of another country.  Rahul Gandhi never renounced that citizenship because you are required by the law to declare  and give  a certificate to  Italian government that I have renounced that citizenship.  In fact, he uses a Italian passport by the name of Rahul Vinci,  Any time tomorrow, the Government comes that does not have the sychophants or those who are blackmailed by them,  then you can say that Rahul Gandhi also, you are not a citizen of India.  One of the things they have secretly kept, but that has gottenout now, is that Rahul Gandhi has gotten admission into ?? college on two grounds.  A) He is a Christian, in record and B) he is a marksman rifle shooter.   So, on sportsmen quota he got admission, not on grades.   How did he have to do that.  He could not pass hindi exam and he is representing the state of Uttar Pradesh. 

 

This is the person who needs to be shown that he has nothing to do with Gandhi.  Gandhi was a man who was a barrister,  earned a name as a lawyer of south Africa, gave it all away for the country,  then if Rahul is using that name, you have a right to say, you are an imposter,  you don’t belong here.  (Claps). 

 

Rahul Gandhi arrested by FBI

 

Rahul Gandhi was arrested at Boston airport.  He had 160,000 dollars in cash.  In united states, you cannot enter with more than 10,000 dollars without declaring it.  He didn’t declare and got caught.  He had with him a girlfriend by name Veronique Cartelli, citizen, passport holder spain, father Colombian.  Cartelli, means drug mafia.   And something else is there, which has not been identified.  27^th September, 2001, they have SPG, like a royal family they have SPG cover. SPG said he is son of former Prime Minister and FBI said we don’t care.   It is the law.  Nine hours they kept.  Government of India intervened,  Condelezza Rice was told this will affect Indo-US relationship,  and then the FBI was told to let him go.  FBI registered a FIR or equivalent of FIR,  I don’t know what they call here, criminal case or whatever,  and was told anytime we want we can call you and you can go.  They let him go.  My friends here try to get information using freedom of information act to FBI and FBI said they will give his records, provided we get no objection certification from Rahul Gandhi because it is his personal records.   That’s the law.  So, I wrote a letter to Rahul Gandhi.   If you have nothing to hide, give us the permission.   He never replied.  Everybody knows.  This is in record.  Nothing to hide.  160,000 dollars in cash, carry such cash for what for?  

 

Rahul Gandhi – living with his girl friend

 

Don’t we think we have right to know if Rahul Gandhi is married or not?  In his house in Tughlak lane,  there is a foreign woman there.  Her name is Veronique Cartelli.   Is he married to her or not married to her?   Or is he living with her?   Can he not make that public?  What would the Indians think.  Rajiv Gandhi wife a foreigner.  Rahul Gandhi wife a foreigner.  Can’t  he find Indian girls at all?  And what were the antecedents of Veronique?   Daughter of drug mafia.  So,  we need to know.  Even in marriages,  we need to know.  Accountability in India is one can go to village and find out everything about me.  When you have a foreigner, you have to be doubly careful.  That should be doubly watched. 

 

Degradation of Hindu values since Sonia came to power

 

Ever since Sonia came to power, we find Hindu values are degraded.  Jayendra sarawati, jayalalitha did it but so many pressures were put on her,  why put him in jail like a criminal,  on diwali day in Andhra Pradesh,  any time other than a diwali day could have been done.

 

Why destroy ramasethu and there are so many alternate routes but it is to degrade Hindus.  Hindus says why we are always beaten and we are used to it.  That is not true.  Muslims went to Iran and conquered in 15 years, Iraq and Saudi Arabia in short time.  Today,  they still debate in Saudi and other countries why India was not conquered.  After 800 years of Islamic rule and 200 years of European rule, India is still 83%. Why? 

 

Rana Pratap is hero not Mansingh who catipulated to Moghuls.   This is what a hero. 

 

 

The final word on the case

 

This case Kataria will easily win.  What is the locus standi.  There is this actual malice.  Prove it.  I have been telling Kataria do not get it dismissed, let her come and testify.  It may not happen because judges do not want to waste time.  I do not know details of US law in this regard, but if he has filed 100 million dollar lawsuit, then we should countersue for 10 million dollars.  But if that happens, Sonia will drop Surinder Malhotra like a ball.  

 

The lawyers Kataria, Sanahi and others appointed is excellent lawyer and the plaintiff do not have a case.  NY Times 1964 case is a golden standard.   They will fight it out, they will go to higher court and go to supreme court and you will fight it out and there never be such cases in the future.   Support them not only with the higher court fight but all the way and this victory is the success of hindu consciousness.

  ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

 

 

Finally the truth has prevailed (100 million dollars lawsuits withdrawn in NY and dimissed in New Jersey)

 

In a bizarre turn of events, Karasik & Associates, attorneys for Indian National Overseas Congress, a subsidiary of Indian National Congress, headed by Sonia Gandhi, in INOC v. Kataria, et al. served a Notice of Discontinuance in the above-named action to Justice Emly Jane Goodman of the Supreme Court of New York on September 29, 2008. The Notice of Discontinuane tantamounts to an unconditional surrender by the Congress Party and could be construed as a victory of Dharmic forces.  In actuality, the hearing in this case, originally, was scheduled to be held October 2,  2008.

 

The prominent Law Firm of Kornstein, Veisz, Wexler & Pollard represented Narain Kataria, Arish Sahani and Indo Caribbean Council. The stipulation between the attorneys of the two parties was agreed to, signed and stamped in the Court on October 2, 2008.  Prior to this last month a similar case filed by INOC in New Jersey Court against Sunanda Thali, Satyanarayana Dosapati, Naresh Sharma, and Mahatma Gandhi International Foundation, Inc., was summarily dismissed by the Judge who found that the Plaintiff had no locus standi in filing such a frivolous case.

 

It is a matter of great happiness for all NRIs, particularly Hindus,  that the famous adage from Vedic literature Satya Mev Jayate (Truth shall always prevail, once again, prevailed in New York and New Jersey Courts, on the Birthday of Mahatma Gandhi!

 

In this connection, it should be noted that the INOC had filed these two lawsuits on the alleged grounds that Kataria, Sahani et al had defamed President of Indian National Congress, Sonia Gandhi, by bringing out a full page advertisements in The New York Times, dated October 6, 2007.  Some extracts from that advertisement are as follows:

 

“UN’s declaration of Mahatma Gandhi’s birthday on October 2^nd as the International Non-Violence Day is commendable.  However, instead of a true Gandhian delivering his message of peace and non-violence, Sonia Gandhi who is not a representative of Gandhian values is chosen.

 

“Sonia Maino Gandhi is NOT related to Mahatma Gandhi.  She is attempting to misappropriate his name for political mileage and international legitimacy.

 

“Sonia is known to be vindictive and undemocratic.  Her party uses various mechanisms, such as tax raids, direct threats to subjugate opposition. (“Know your Sonia” by Dr. Subramanian Swamy, visiting Harvard Professor)

 

“Due to her party’s pro-terrorist policies, India has second highest  number of terrorism victims after Iraq.  Her Government is requesting clemency to Afzal Guru, the mastermind of attack on Indian Parliament.  In pursuit of Muslim vote bank, she has created soft borders and turned a blind eye towards Islamic fundamentalism.

 

“Her husband Rajiv Gandhi is alleged to have received payments from KGB.  According to Schweizer, Illustrierte, Rajiv has a secret Swiss Bank account of 2 billion dollars.  Her son Rahul projected as next Prime Minister of India, was detained by FBI with large unaccounted cash at Boston Airport in 2001.  (Swiss magazine  Schweizer, Illustrierte 11/1991, Indo Asian News Service).

 

“Her party was involved in the UN Oil for Food Scam that helped Saddam Hussain.  She was involved in numerous scams, scandals and controversies.  Before entering India, she was an au-pair with modest means.  Since then, she and her family members have amassed millions through questionable means.  (Know Your Sonia by India First Foundation) 

 

The purpose of these cases, it is believed, was to silence the voice of the critics of Sonia Gandhi through her surrogates, stifle the voice of freedom, make defendants financially bankrupt, frighten them into submission, and suppress the truth.

 

It is also worthwhile to mention here that these two cases had generated an inquisitive interest in media, a sense of unity and brotherhood among Indian Diaspora, particularly Hindus and Sikhs, who had organized fund raisers and established Hindu Support Fund to defray  attorneys’ fees and other related expenses to be incurred in these cases.

 

It is a matter of great satisfaction and joy that the Right of Free Speech guaranteed under the First Amendment of American Constitution has been upheld by the judges and the sinister designs of enemies of freedom of speech, actuated by the malicious desire to muzzle the voice of free speech, truth, and vilify the defendants,  have been nipped in the bud.
