Having attacked the prime minister Manmohan Singh for his failure to prosecute the former telecom minister A Raja for his role in the 2G scam and then  subsequently absolving him, the Janta party president Subramaniam Swamy has now trained his guns on congress president Sonia Gandhi.

In a letter to the Prime minister on November 24, Swamy alleged that Gandhi was the direct beneficiary of the raging scam. 

“According to my information two sisters, Anushka and Nadia, of Ms Sonia Gandhi had received sixty percent of the kickbacks in this deal i.e. Rs.18,000 crores each,” he said in his letter.

“The frequent travel of Sonia Gandhi and her immediate family to Malaysia, Hongkong, Dubai and parts of Europe including London requires to be probed under the law. What requires your special attention is the mode of the travel, not by commercial airliners, but by jets provided by the corporate sector which itself is illegal under the DGCA Rules,” he further said.

Exhorting the prime minister to take action against the culprits he says, “You can no more not take a stand when evil is permeating in the country in the form of terrorism, religious conversion and demographic infiltration. The ill-gotten money in billions of dollars equivalent, the money laundering and Participatory Notes have all undermined our national integrity. The time is come for you to take a stand.”

Asking the prime minister to ‘rise to the need of the hour’ he asks him to ‘take effective steps to set right the sorry state of affairs in the country caused by overtly and covertly resident foreigners.’
